And it is official!
EASP is part of the Talent Matching Europe, a three year project funded by the European Unions' Erasmus plus programme. Talent Matching Europe (TME) is a new international partnership for tutors and trainers who are supporting young people to gain access to careers in Europe's cultural and creative industries. It was developed by Rinova and is funded by the European Union's Erasmus+ programme until August 2018. Taking its inspiration from Talent Match London - the 5-year Big Lottery-funded programme in the UK, led by London Youth and operated in North London by Collage Arts and Rinova, the project is focused on the development of the new skills needed for an emerging occupation in the sector - the 'vocational mentor in the arts'. This role is being undertaken by practitioners who work with companies, employers and commissioners from the cultural sector on the one side; and young talented people who would like to access work or careers in the sector on the other. It also connects with educational and vocational training organisations to bring all the parties together. TME is led by Collage Arts (UK) working with Rinova, Mulab (Italy), Fundacja Arteria (Poland), Association Prostor Plus (Croatia), CEPS Projectes Socials (Spain) and the Youth Association for Social Action, Education and Prevention (EASP) from the Republic of Macedonia. |
On the 30th June and the 1st July, the partners held their second TME project meeting in Rijeka, Croatia, which has recently been selected as the European Capital of Culture (ECoC) for 2020. Project representatives met the acting Director of the ECoC programme and explored how TME may be able to assist with its capacity-building aspirations. The partners also explored the results of their respective national programmes of research and considered how to develop the profile and competences required for the vocational mentor in the arts, which is the next stage of the project.
