Project Summary

The project ‘Digital Art Academy – cultural education for digital skills’ is a collaboration between four partner organisations who have both the Arts and education at their core: Intercult (SE), Hellenic Association of Adult Education (GR), City Culture Institute (PL) and Fablevision (SC). The project’s overarching goal is to support the growth and intertwining of digital and creative competences for both adult educators and artistic professionals.

All our project partners have a common desire to explore and support digital innovation within the CCS. In Europe, artists are struggling to cope with the post Covid-19 world in which there is an imperative to find new ways of creating and delivering content, specifically for certain sectors within the CCS. Through a positive lens, the situation is also a breeding ground for opportunity which the open attitude and curiosity of creative practitioners also supports. In order to achieve this, the project partners have recognised a need for more cross-sectoral collaboration in order to nurture a thriving community of practice that can work effectively together and accelerate innovation through the open sharing of knowledge.

This project brings together adult educators with creative practitioners who, in cooperation with multimedia experts, will use digital technologies to create new art forms. Layered on top of this, the educators observe this process of learning by doing and transmute the process into educational content which can support other educators in the creation of course content. Extending beyond the upskilling of the project’s direct participants, one of the project outputs is the development of curriculum guidelines to support other educators in the digital upskilling of CCS professionals seeking further training.

Overall, this project will directly result in a growth in the digital and creative competences of the project participants. It will also indirectly impact the competence levels of those who are recipients of trainings developed out of the project’s intellectual outputs. Furthermore, integral to the project results, is the development of adult educators’ competences to create course material and teach course content on the topic of the use of digital tools in artistic production and broadcasting.
