Lifelong Learning Methods in the Creative Industries
New professional openings and forms of work at different interfaces of individuals, communities, and organizations create a need for a new kind of multidisciplinary expertise. It is becoming increasingly important to grow skills and networks in new areas and to co-operate.
Future Artpreneurship project will map the current state of competence, and the creative industries’ future needs. The objective is to generate change for the creative industries to enhance the sector's talent and skills as part of a vibrant and multidisciplinary society.
The project will result in an education model that improves training relevance for the creative industry in master's studies and adult education — supporting lifelong learning for entrepreneurial skills. The co-creation of the concept takes place during 2021—2022, and the project will end in December 2022.
