Creative Skills Week webinar: The role of social dialogue in enhancing access to training in the cultural and creative sectors

How can social dialogue and collaboration between national social partners in cultural and creative industries help enhance access to training for all types of workers at different moments of their careers? What role for trade unions, employers’ organisations and social dialogue in tailoring the training offers to the needs of the sector?

As part of the Creative Skills Week, join us online on Monday 22 September from 12:30 pm to 13:30 pm (CEST) to learn more about the Creative Skills Europe initiative, and hear from sector experts on how social dialogue can be a lever to promote and guarantee access to training and lifelong learning for professionals in the cultural and creative industries.

Creative Skills Europe is a project jointly implemented by Pearle*- Live Performance Europe, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), the International Federation of Musicians (FIM), the International Federation of Actors (FIA), the European Federation of Journalists (EFJ), and the Media, Entertainment & Arts sector of UNI Europa (EURO-MEI).
