What are the specifics of innovation phenomena for the modern content industries operating in the evolving cross-media environment? What are the relations between ‘innovation' and ‘creativity' in these fields? How should ‘innovation' be taught to the future professionals of these industries?
These are some of the questions that the academic workshop "Educational challenge: innovation in creative industries" will aim to investigate. The workshop is part of a larger initiative, the EU project "First Motion" (Baltic Sea Region Programme 2007-2013) that is undertaken in the Baltic Sea Region to define the new challenges and prospects for the regional AV-industries in times of media convergence. The initiative is responsive to the issue that due to their small sizes most local industry actors are often unable to develop institutional capabilities and innovation skills that are necessary for effective utilization of the new distribution channels, for inventing new ways of product differentiation, for creating new forms of cross-media output and for managing all the related technological and legal challenges. While the broader First Motion framework investigates ways to overcome these difficulties by proposing new policies and business-models and by developing supportive institutional and technological platforms, this workshop will constitute the first step in investigating the issues of how to educate the future creative industries' professionals to make most of the converging media, how to teach the phenomena of media innovation and its management in higher education? For that purpose the workshop is targeted to and aims to include three main groups: researchers of media and creative industries, academic educators of related subjects as well as representatives of media industries from the Baltic Sea Region. The workshop aims at establishing a dialogue among these groups for developing scenarios responsive to the educational challenge of how to teach innovation to students of creative subjects.
The workshop is free of charge for all invited and accepted participants.
