Roundtables Utrecht and TRaKSforA Partnership Meeting Amsterdam

[Radka Jágriková]

The final meeting of partners and practitioners involved in the project project “Training Requirements and Key Skills for Artists and other creative practitioners to work in participatory settings“ (TRaKSforA) took place in the Netherlands on 3–5 June 2015.

First in the series of official activities and events was a roundtable event organised by HKU University of the Arts Utrecht in collaboration with Utrecht Creative Capacity Development Path and partners in TRaKSforA/ICEnet on Wednesday 3 June. Six research tables focused on distinctive issues related to creative education and creative partnerships, with one table looking specifically at the latest draft of the Self-Assessment Competency Framework for Creative Practitioners that partner organisations in TRaKSforA had been working on. The discussions brought a lot of interesting insights and contributed to the final framework, which can be downloaded from here. 

A photo-report and more information (in Dutch only) can be found on the HKU website.

Other activities of the participants from 9 European countries included a conference, a series of participatory workshops, partnership meetings, informal discussions and a practice visit to the Hermitage Amsterdam museum. A selection of photos from the museum activities can be seen below.
