CYANOTYPES

Cyanotypes project brings together various stakeholders from the CCSI to develop a strategic approach to new skills development solutions that can be adopted across the creative sector.

We explore which innovative, multidisciplinary frameworks, strategic interventions, and skills development solutions should be adopted across the European CCI ecosystem.

By doing so, it is possible to make the skilling processes today more sustainable, resilient, and dynamic.

Cyanotypes is part of the Alliances for Sectoral Cooperation on Skills funded by the European Commission Erasmus+ Programme.

Aim of the Alliances for Innovation:

• to strengthen Europe’s innovation capacity by boosting innovation through cooperation and flow of knowledge among education sector
• to boost the provision of new skills and address skills mismatches by designing and creating new curricula
• supporting the development of a sense of initiative and entrepreneurial mind-sets in the EU

There are two main components for sectoral cooperation on skills:

1. The Pact for Skills and the main objective is to mobilise all relevant stakeholders to take concrete actions for the upskilling and reskilling of the workforce, addressing the needs of the labour market.
2. The Alliance for Sectoral Cooperation on Skills, and this is referred to as the Blueprint. The aim of the Blueprint is to build the base for the Pact for Skills and define the pathway that should be continued after the project is finalised.

As European economies more generally and CCI in particular are affected by ever-shorter cycles of social and technological innovation, being able to “stay ahead of the curve” is becoming a general requirement for the development and implementation of sustainable business models.

The ability to anticipate the development of markets and needs calls for cross-sectoral “futures literacies” that allow CCI actors to engage current and future users, build scenarios, foresee (regulatory and technological) costs and constraints, and imagine possibilities and potentials.

Cyanotypes takes a holistic approach integrating specific sectoral and transversal skillsets with anticipatory approaches to enable and ensure a futures-proof educational transformation of the European CCI ecosystem.

Cyanotypes strategically adopts a triple loop learning framework that combines the effective adoption of:

• existing (and validated) skillsets
• the co-creative development of new skillsets
• a flexible framework facilitating adjustments to respond to changes with future skillsets

Cyanotypes builds scenario-based learning into its approach to training. It builds on the EU Skills Panorama activities in order to anticipate future skills requirements for:

• Green Shift
• AI/Big Data
• Entrepreneurial Skills
• Cooperations
• Scenario-Based Learning
• Well-being

Cyanotypes will provide inputs for workplace training and microlearning for existing and new occupational profiles.
