The CROP (Creativite rises opportunity for partnership) project aims to offer a unique and transformative learning experience, focusing on highly topical and relevant issues for the future of Europe. The master’s program, structured in flexible modules, will focus on five key areas and will have the following primary objectives:
- Equip students with certified knowledge and skills (Open Digital Badges – ODB) that can be used in the cultural and creative industry (CCI) labor market and in the development of their own business ideas.
- Encourage HEI teachers to integrate new teaching methodologies into their curricula.
- Promote local and civic engagement to strengthen community networks.
- Explore current issues:
- New European Bauhaus: We will explore the principles and visions of the New European Bauhaus, an initiative aimed at rethinking design and architecture in a sustainable and inclusive way.
- Green New Deal: The Green New Deal represents an ambitious plan for the decarbonization of Europe and the transition to a circular economy.
- Urban Strategies for Community Engagement: Active community participation is essential for the success of any urban regeneration project.
- Urban Regeneration: European cities face complex challenges, such as aging infrastructure, urban desertification, and climate change.
- Gamification: Gamification, the application of game principles in non-game contexts, is a powerful tool for learning and motivation.
- Share best practices and scalable and/or replicable solutions in other contexts/territories.
