About us
The venue-based sectors, such as performing and music, are the hardest hit by social distancing measures, as a result of the Covid-19 crisis. The abrupt drop in revenues puts their financial sustainability at risk and has resulted in reduced wage earnings and lay-offs with repercussions for the value chain of their suppliers, from creative and non-creative sectors alike.
This project’s main objective is to empower performers, specifically those in music, through development of skills and competences for digital transformation.
– Ensuring high-quality and inclusive education, through enriching learning experiences while supporting effective use of digital technologies in creation of OERs;
– Empowering performers, specifically those in music, to adapt to the online and the digital environment;
– Enhancing the use of new technologies for streaming in performance arts through integration of available digital and educational resources.
– Cultural and creative youth, specifically music performers.
– Organisations in the cultural and creative sector (CCS) which provide training in digital competences and youth networking.
– European CCS and performance arts leaders, specifically managers, influencers in the field of performance arts and music training.
– Review and analysis of resources for digital transformation; Development of Assignment; Guidelines for digital presence of the performers
– E-platform: Module Learning“OERs database and training tools”
– E-platform: Module Practice“Online streaming, marketing and ticket system”
All results and lessons will be disseminated in a total of four dissemination events in all partnership countries.
The project will support the culture and creative sector in their efforts to adapt to the pandemic situation and to upgrade the knowledge and skills of the performance and music artists.
