Creativity and transversal skills play a crucial role for the future job market and job profiles, nevertheless, the inclusion of these aspects into skills development approaches is still incomplete.

Therefore, during the European Year of Youth 2022, Creative FLIP supports a second round of the  Learning Labs Program. After the successful pilot round in 2020/21, Cultural and Creative Sector (CCS) organizations and structures establish cooperation projects with schools, introducing students to creative professions and building ties with their local community. As part of the initiative, students explore creative and transversal skills through a co-creation project, while also discussing and learning about related topics such as the importance of protecting and respecting intellectual property and creations.

Across eleven countries, our Creative Facilitators, representing different sectors such as Architecture, Design & Fashion, Visual Arts, Performing Arts, Media and Press, Audio-visual and Cultural Heritage & Museums, are going to introduce creative and transversal skills at local schools.

Discover the individual Learning Labs and how they plan to build the bridge between cultural & creative professionals on the one hand, and students of Primary and Secondary schools on the other hand.
