Partners met for the second TPM – this time in person! Although we were a small group, the one-and-a-half-day meeting was very productive. Partners are currently wrapping-up IO1 and plan to publish the Rurart Alliance Blueprint and Skill Prioritisation Map by August. The EU-wide survey is now closed and results will be combined with the findings from the Rurart Alliance focus groups to determine which 21st Century and entrepreneurial skills are most needed by creative individuals living and working in rural areas throughout Europe.
Additionally, partners made great strides in the development of the IO2 Toolkit. This toolkit is a free resource for students, mentors, and teachers to further advance skills artists currently need. While the toolkit is being tested and finalized this autumn, ACEEU will begin building the eCanvas platform.
