Creative Skills Week
Creative Skills Week 2025 (CSW2025) is a key meeting point for the Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs), focused on lifelong learning, re-skilling, and up-skilling. It facilitates collaboration between:
- Higher Education (HE),
- Vocational Education and Training (VET) providers,
- and Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs).
CSW encourages dialogue on building local partnerships and engaging policymakers, emphasising CCIs’ role in driving the economy and shaping sustainable cultural development across Europe.
For its third edition, we are building a space of continuous experimentation, collaboration, and skills development. What works? What doesn’t? How can we refine our processes together?
Through peer-to-peer learning, hands-on workshops, expert discussions, and matchmaking opportunities, CSW2025 explores new ways to approach future skills and tackle emerging trends in the Cultural and Creative Sectors.
Creative Skills Week 2025 is co-organised with EIT Culture & Creativity, the Creative Pact for Skills, SACCORD (Erasmus+ Forward-Looking Project Scheme co-funded by the European Commission Erasmus+ Programme) and CYANOTYPES (Alliances for Sectoral Cooperation on Skills co-funded by the European Commission Erasmus+ Programme).
ELIA and Creative Prague are the main organisers of Creative Skills Week 2025.
