WP3-Learn Update on Achievements
Learn is about fostering the knowledge and skills base of people working or looking to work in the screen sectors in the North Sea Region.
Goals
The objectives of Learn were to coordinate education resource information and provision and to enhance the North Sea Region skills base. It saw the creation of a web resource to inform students and professionals in the industry, as well as a series of transnational work experience placements, training exchanges and Master classes.
Achievements
The Learn team conducted a Benchmarking Pilot to identify a credit rating for programmes of study across the NSR and compare these with industry standards. An evaluation tool for Creative Events was developed and tested in the Netherlands and Denmark and is now available to the network to evaluate the impacts of events. Digital Tourism was studied and a number of publications resulted for the benefit of the North Sea Region and beyond.
Achievements are:
- Delivering extensive transnational staff and student exchanges, work experience and master classes.
- Completion of a pilot levelling study on screen and media production courses across the NSR to inform course development, comparison of courses, benchmarking of course delivery and mutual recognition of qualifications.
- Creation of uScreens, an innovative, award-winning, online learning resource on screen production for young people that incorporates accessibility for all abilities, that is a platform for cooperative projects and learning and is attracting global attention and use including that by schools and colleges as part of course delivery.
