Welcome to the CYANOTYPES Toolkit

The CYANOTYPES Train-the-Trainer Toolkit has been developed over the last two years and is designed to enable creative professionals to facilitate the development of transversal competences—skills that are transferable across various roles and industries—and overcome skills shortages by creating pathways for upskilling and reskilling.

CYANOTYPES Framework

The CYANOTYPES Framework has been developed to enable professionals, learning organisations and creative businesses, networks and sectors to address their skills-related challenges by providing:

  • the means to understand and anticipate skills needs and ambitions
  • the opportunity to explore transversal competences for urgent and future skills needs
  • a co-creative process to identify and develop customised and new training pathway

We encourage people to consider how best to use the CYANOTYPES Framework in their own context and according to their ambitions and objectives. The Framework we have developed consists of five contexts where creative agency can flourish and each cluster has five transversal competences.
