CYANOTYPES is a strategic Erasmus+ funded project aimed to address the current and future skills needs of the Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs) across Europe, which is dealing with the rapid changes shaped by social, digital and green transitions.
On June 25th, EfVET carried out a workshop titled “Cyanotypes Open Pilots – Engaging with Cyanotypes in Practice”, dedicated to the project and its Framework and Toolkit, aimed to support Education and Training organisations, including VET schools with educational offer in the CCIs sector, to implement CYANOTYPES approach to skills needs into their own training methodologies.
Offering a set of resources, the CYANOTYPES Toolkit is comprised of:
- CYANOTYPES Framework, rooted on 5 Creative Agency Clusters that provide the capacity to act, decide and create value in changing conditions, each addressing a specific competence identified in the project as key for coping with the challenged faced by the CCIs. In addition to these Clusters, there are also 5 Cross-Cutting Themes than can be combined with the mentioned competences of each Cluster, for a more in-depth approach.
- The Blueprinter, an AI powered tool that can be used by Education and Training organisations to identify relevant documents, materials and strategies tailored to their specific interests or needs.
- Train-the Trainer Resources, which include lesson templates (helpful to structure and plan each training lesson, and to ensure the quality of the sessions and materials used), structured cards (which support addressing the above-mentioned Agency Clusters’ competences) and methods for Educators to design and test flexible learning experiences.
Interested in knowing more about CYANOTYPES Framework, how you can embed its Toolkit on your own learning methods and activities, and take inspiration from the 25 open pilots carried out so far by organisations internal and external to the project?
