Creative Skills Europe, the European Platform on Employment and Training in the Audiovisual and Live Performance sectors, is a project which aims at collecting information and at developing tools to help the cultural and creative sectors adjust their skills to the realities of the field.
Ran by a partnership of European trade unions, employers’ organisations, and national skills bodies, Creative Skills Europe looks at creating national and European synergies, and at inspiring new types of actions, both at company level and in a collective way at sector level.
Its objective is to steer discussions on the evolving skills needs in our sectors and to promote initiatives to respond to those needs.
In 2017-2018 four thematic workshops were organised in different European cities on the topics of innovation, HR management, the digital environment and the role of social dialogue.
In March 2019, the main outcomes of those exchanges were presented in a publication series. The publications are available in English, Czech, French, German, Italian and Spanish.
