Nordic and Baltic Future Artpreneurship Seminar: The Future Skills in the Creative Sector

Welcome to the Nordic and Baltic Future Artpreneurship Seminar: The Future Skills in the Creative Sector on January 27, 2023 at 10:00–16:00 (EET)!

The seminar will be delivered in hybrid mode, you may participate onsite in Helsinki, Finland or online.

New professional openings, possibilities, and forms of work are generated at different interfaces of individuals, communities, and organizations. These create a need for a new kind of multidisciplinary expertise in the creative sector. For this reason, it is becoming increasingly important to grow new skills, competencies, and networks in diverse, rapidly developing areas and to form new cooperations.

The Future Artpreneurship project (2021-2022) has been seeking new learning methods and identifying required competencies for the challenges and skills needed for the creative industries as part of its transformation in the Nordic and Baltic regions.

In the seminar will be discussed the project's findings, identified future skills, and learning solutions for the creative sector.
