Introduction

Summary

The goal of this strategic transnational and intersectorial partnership, that involves some high education organisations working in the audiovisual sector in Europe and in the Southern Neighbourhood countries, is to conceive and implement a common and innovative training in a multilateral context that aims at give to the students and to the young professionals the necessary skills for accessing a dynamic job market at the international level.

The definition of a high quality curriculum, based on an effective methodology and able to integrate the orientations and needs of the labor market in terms of specific and transversal skills required, will reinforce the role of higher education as a lever development and innovation in the TV production sector. The close collaboration and the specific and plural contribution of the 8 partners, coming from 6 European countries and the South Mediterranean, in all the activities of the project, in particular in the design of a highly international curriculum and an evaluation system based on shared criteria (which will also offer validation by ECTS credits), will be an important contribution to the reflection on the recognition of skills in a changing sector such as TV series.

Description

In order to reach the project goals the partners will jointly conduct the necessary activities to develop 5 complementary  intellectual outputs:
- Analysis of the needs of the TV series market in Europe and in the Euro-Mediterranean region
- Innovative and transnational curriculum in the field of TV series writing
- E-learning tools: training modules and MOOC
- Pilot training evaluation criteria and methods
- Evaluation report about the pilot training in TV series writing

They project will lead to the following results:
-       The needs in terms of training and skills development in the field of TV series writing are assessed at Euro-Mediterranean level;
-       An innovative, transnational and intercultural (6 countries concerned, 3 European and 3 of the Southern Neighbourhood) training in the field of TV series writing, able to answer to the real needs of the concerned job market in the Euro-Mediterranean region, is conceived and developped jointly by the high-education partner organisations, by highlighting their different expertises and excellences ;
-       A pilot edition of the 1-year training (practical workshops and e-learning tools) is implemented and 30 students and/or young professionals already active in the sector and willing a specialisation, have improved their skills and know-how and reinforced their employability;
-       An evaluation system for the training and its results is defined and tested, to improve the training offer and its pertinence in respect to the needs of the job market. The evaluation of the skills acquired during the training based on common criteria will represent an important contribution in the domain of competences recognition  in an sector under evolution like the one of TV series;
-       A network of beneficiaries (students) and of trainers is developed, thus allowing the setting up of future initiatives and synergies at the international level.
