We are proud to announce a start of the new project VETLICAT which addresses specific target group of creative industry professionals, both VET providers and consumers such as artists, designers and creative sector decision makers. Through six different modules the VETLICAT project will allow them to improve their mind in practical and theoretical aspects of art and new technologies, as well as to meet with significant professionals from the field.

Description of the individual modules:

Fablab
The Fabrication Laboratory module is a series of five workshops held in Prague in the first half of 2014 and where participants can learn the basics that need to work with the machines and new technologies and to get know the basic issues of that area. The Fablab will encourage people to translate their ideas into physical prototypes and new products and to share knowledge and designs.

Future of Art and Science
In parallel with the Fablab, Prague will host another module called Future of Art and Science which is a series of lectures by eminent international researchers and practitioners from the field where art and science interact. They will discuss and explore future benefits and challenges, processes, politics and collaboration between art and science. Every evening the experts talk about their distinct field of work related to a theme that is at stake concerning art & science.

Education and Heritage
This module will take place in Slovenia and its aim is to inspire and to share the knowledge about the creative use of new technology in education. It aspires to tailor its services to the needs of education and heritage of the given country. The services that they have to offer are meant for local education, being both professionals as pupils and students, but also for organisations in education and people working at creative media businesses, museums and libraries.

Fabschool
Learning by making with a focus on creativity, technology and entrepreneurship. That is FabSchool in short. With this project we create various Fablabs accessible to young people. FabSchool responds to current social and economic needs and trends and reflects the interests and the world of young people. With this project, we will stimulate the skills needed for tomorrow’s society: art, creativity, entrepreneurship and critical reflection.

Exergaming
The module is focused on the elderly generation and their healthcare improvement through serious games. In this project we will be working according to an interactive design process, following designers’ principle: concepts and prototypes will be built through co-creation with users. In cooperation with TAKOMAT, one of the main leaders in Serious Games creation, we will carry out this module and take advantage of their experience. The module will take place in Prague.

PhDO
PhDO consists of networking events: both for individuals in the creative sector, and for people working in research and development. The network aims to develop realistic insights in the process of preparing, applying, setting up & carrying out research in the Creative Sector. The module will take place in Portugal.
