EfVET is happy to announce that registrations for Creative Skills Week 2026 (CSW2026) are now open.
This year’s programme brings together Europe’s Cultural and Creative Sectors and Industries (CCSI), policymakers, educators, and industry leaders at a time when democracy, technological sovereignty, and social cohesion are under pressure to ask: how can we harness and target the transformative power of creative skills for wider societal challenges?
Co-hosted by ICHEC Brussels Management School and LUCA School of Arts, join us in Brussels from 7 – 9 September 2026 to discover how creative skills operate in practice, and why they are The Difference that Makes the Difference.
CSW2026: The Difference that Makes the Difference
Across three days, the programme invites you to connect policy with practice, bridge European priorities with local implementation, and position culture and creativity as drivers of innovation, resilience, and transformation.
Through hands-on workshops, interactive sessions, and cross-sector showcases, Creative Skills Week demonstrates how culture, creativity, and skills can contribute to Europe’s future, and why they represent a different perspective, one that reframes challenges, connects ecosystems, and strengthens Europe’s capacity to act.
