Registrations Open for Creative Skills Week 2025

Registrations for Creative Skills Week 2025 (CSW2025) are now open!

Join us in Prague (and online) to collaborate across boundaries, co-create new learning pathways, and build the skills for a resilient, future-ready sector.

This year’s theme, Create. Transform. Regenerate., reflects a shared commitment to building adaptive, inclusive, and sustainable creative ecosystems. The CSW2025 programme responds to the urgent transitions facing the sector today: digital advancements, the green shift, funding cuts, the rise of populism, growing concerns around AI, and skills shortages.

To meet these challenges, CSW2025 is structured across three experiential theme tracks, each designed for participants to:

CREATE: Experiment with innovative tools and practices. Participate in hands-on activities and build practical capabilities through making, prototyping, and testing.

TRANSFORM: Engage with peers on pressing issues, take part in debates, policy discussions, and strategic roundtables that address the systemic challenges and future direction of the cultural and creative industries (CCIs).

REGENERATE: Stay ahead of the curve with peer-to-peer learning, foresight exercises, and collaborative innovation. Explore emerging trends and co-create pathways for sustainable evolution.
