DigiArt

SI Baltic Sea Neighbourhood Programme Project “Digital Innovation and Artistic Collaboration Across the Baltic Sea and its Neighbourhood (DigiArt)”

Creativity Lab participates in the implementation of the SI Baltic Sea Neighbourhood Programme project “Digital Innovation and Artistic Collaboration Across the Baltic Sea and its Neighbourhood (DigiArt)”, which aims to strengthen digital collaboration in the cultural and creative sectors by developing a prototype of a transnational digital platform for artistic co-creation, learning, and knowledge exchange.

The project brings together partners from Sweden, Latvia, and Georgia to jointly explore innovative digital methods and create new tools that support cross-border artistic collaboration. Through an interdisciplinary approach, the partnership combines expertise in contemporary performing arts, digital innovation, and cultural development to address the lack of accessible, artist-driven digital infrastructures in the region.

Based on co-creation processes, Creativity Lab is responsible for leading the development of the platform prototype, organizing hackathons, and applying open innovation methodologies that ensure the platform is user-centred, inclusive, and adaptable to the needs of artists, cultural professionals, and students.

The project includes a structured process of needs analysis, prototype development, testing, and stakeholder consultations, as well as the creation of new regional partnerships and the preparation of follow-up funding applications for the next phase of platform development.

“DigiArt” will be implemented from 2025 to 2026, laying the groundwork for long-term cooperation and future large-scale international initiatives aimed at digital transformation in the arts.

Total project budget is 500 000 SEK (~45 500 EUR).

Erasmus+

European Union “Erasmus+” Programme Project “Unlocking Creativity: New Skills for the Future”

The foundation Creativity Lab is implementing the European Union Erasmus+ adult education project “Unlocking Creativity: New Skills for the Future”, aimed at developing creative, digital, financial, and information literacy skills among adults, as well as strengthening the professional competences of adult educators. The project creates new and flexible learning pathways that will help adults adapt to the rapidly changing labour market and acquire future-proof skills.

The project brings together partners from Latvia, Estonia, and Italy to collaboratively develop innovative methodologies, digital tools, and learning materials grounded in creativity, design thinking, and contemporary adult education practices. This partnership ensures an interdisciplinary approach, combining expertise in the creative industries, digital transformation, career development, and adult learning.

The project will be implemented until August 2027, with the aim of creating a sustainable, open, and internationally accessible learning environment that strengthens adults’ creative capabilities, provides high-quality career support, and promotes lifelong learning. All methodologies and tools developed within the project will be offered as open educational resources, contributing to the improvement of adult education across Europe.

The total project budget is EUR 250,000.
