Given the general frame of cultural employment and training at a EU level and the mismatching of skills in the culture sector, the issues at stake are:which new competences are required to a cultural manager in a changing, globalized and competitive labour market? what kind of innovative learning process needs to be activated?how to validate these new skills for a better comparison and transferability at a EU level and to enhance the employability of cultural professionals?CREAM.S’ network developed 3 answers that led to the creation of a new kit of learning procedures for cultural managers. A research (1) to map the skills needed in the cultural sector and design a new curricula framework for professionals in the culture labour market that pays attention to the competences acquired in informal settings and the need for entrepreneurial skills. The design and testing of a training procedure based on the blended mentoring methodology and aiming, on one hand, at fostering creative thinking, spirit of initiative, intercultural and interpersonal skills and entrepreneurship competences and on the other, at developing concrete learning objects in a one-to-one (mentor-mentee) relation. A validation process (3) of the competences acquired after the testing phase will be shared at a EU level.CREA.M is targeted at professionals working precariously in the cultural sector, who have experience but can’t find a placement in the labour market nor have access to C-VET.In the pilot testing of the creative blended mentoring 18 mentees directly involved in the project are going to foster their competences and enhance their employability in a co-working experience with 18 mentors. The envisaged impact of the project activities is about 500 people. Moreover the blended mentoring will be developed through an ICT platform to be disseminated by the partner organizations to all their stakeholders (estimated in about 30.000 contacts) to spread and exploit the new learning tool.
