EIT Culture & Creativity will support consortia that design and implement a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) course consisting of approximately 4 independent modules, for a total of around 30 hours. Courses shall clearly fit within the ISCED fields of education related to EIT Culture & Creativity, and shall build participant’s capacity and skills in at least one the following thematic areas:

• Digital: use of digital tools such as digital marketing and social media, digital content and distribution, e-commerce, emerging web technologies like blockchain based authentication, virtual exhibitions and curation to improve competitiveness within the CCSI sectors.
• Data driven methods and practice: use of data analytics in areas such as audience development and relationship building, data for creating, measuring and articulating value and impact, and data-based decision making and developing new business models for improving internal processes and decisionmaking in CCSI.
• Business skills: develop business-oriented skills for CCSI avenues and enterprises. Examples include areas such as strategic planning, financial management, project management, fundraising and social entrepreneurship, alternative and ethical business models.
• Sustainable development and prosperity: develop skills that support the creation of strategies and practices for sustainable development relevant for CCSI. For example, contribution towards UN SDGs; sustainable practices in events and cultural space management; equality, diversity and inclusion strategies in curation, production, and recruitment; creative and cultural practices for social change and civic participation.
• Design-based thinking / Creative thinking: develop intrapreneurship skills that unlock creativity and develop innovative ideas and solutions within the workplace.

All courses must satisfy requirements as outlined in the EIT Label Handbook for Quality system for non-degree education and training and EIT Competence Certification Model. Given this, winning consortia will be required to ensure that their courses are ready to begin the process of EIT labelling by the beginning of 2025.
