"Competencies for a creative future" and subsequent get-together
CYANOTYPES is the unique pan-European project dedicated to reinventing skills ecosystems within the cultural and creative industries (CCI).
The project brings together a diverse community of organisations, actors and European networks to respond to the changing needs and skills gaps in the CCI sector.
INSPIRED by the iron-based photographic process that gave its name to the original „Blueprint“, CYANOTYPES embodies this crucial moment of innovation. This practice exemplifies the interplay between art and technology – a field of experimentation that continues to inspire creatives today.
*We thank the European Union for its support in making CYANOTYPES and its activities possible. CYANOTYPES is part of the „Alliances for sectoral cooperation in the field of skills“ and is co-financed under the European Commission's Erasmus+ programme.
