Live Skills project’s first Info Day

On October 2^nd 2018, in Bucharest, the National Institute for Cultural Research and Training (INCFC) and FAIR-MediaSind are organising an info session (Info Day) on the European project Live Skills.

The aim of LIVE SKILLS is to approach the shortcomings in terms of skills within the Cultural and Creative Sectors (CCS) and particularly in the mentioned sectors (audio-visual & live performances), by tackling the market needs for digital skills, new technologies, management of arts and entrepreneurial abilities.

LIVE SKILLS will contribute to the boost of professionals’ and students’ employment and mobility in the field of culture, to the growth of the sector’s competitiveness, as well as to the building of a sustainable cultural and creative sector.

The cultural and creative sectors (CCS) play a key role in fostering an intelligent, sustainable growth, favourable to inclusion in Europe. LIVE SKILLS approaches the lack of identified skills and responds to the demand of new skills in two sub-sectors within the wider framework of the CCS: audio-visual & live performance. This will be accomplished by designing and piloting three new innovative professional training programmes in the management of arts, of digital and new technologies, of cultural entrepreneurship, for two professions in the audio-visual and live performances sectors (performing arts), with adaptability to a wider range of professions and other sub-sectors of the CCS.

Coordinated by the British Council, the project benefits by the involvement of nine partners from four countries (Bulgaria, Greece, Romania and the United Kingdom) and two associated European partners (www.live-skills.eu/about/partners).

The Live Skills European project will include a series of training courses in the field of audio-visual and performing arts (live performances). The first Info Day will take place in Bucharest, on Tuesday, the 2^nd of October 2018, at the headquarters of the National Institute for Cultural Research and Training, 12:00-17:00 hrs, Room 202, 2^nd Floor (22, Unirii Blvd, entrance from Mircea Vodă Blvd).
