Bridging Artistic Creativity and Technology: An Erasmus+ Journey

By Domingo Javier Fos Ferrandis.

As an artist and facilitator, my involvement in the Erasmus+ project, "Creative and Digital Skills for Artistic Facilitators," has been an enriching experience. Hosted by INK Formación S.L. in Valencia, this project focused on integrating digital creative skills into our artistic practices and improving our English language competencies.

The project had several objectives, including developing digital English communication skills. During the mobility, I enhanced my competencies in English communication, both written and oral, in a digital environment. I learned to use digital creative tools in English and convey ideas effectively. Additionally, international collaboration was a key component, developing my ability to understand and adapt to various cultural contexts using English.

To achieve these objectives, I participated in various activities and tasks. I conducted a needs analysis and proposal development, focusing on improving my English skills for integration with digital creative tools. I collaborated with local, national, and international actors, emphasizing the importance of English proficiency in these collaborative efforts. Additionally, I trained in integrating digital tools into ordinary teaching and participated in social inclusion projects, using my English skills to engage vulnerable populations.

Outcomes achieved include the development of competencies in digital creativity to enhance social inclusion and acquiring knowledge of the latest trends in data-driven methods in the creative field. I also created project work that integrates the skills learned during the course. The practical experience and collaborative environment at INK Formación S.L. were pivotal in my learning process. Engaging with technology and creative tools has expanded my artistic repertoire and opened new avenues for social impact through art.

Participating in this Erasmus+ project has broadened my horizons as an artist and facilitator. The skills and knowledge gained will be instrumental in my future projects, fostering a more inclusive and digitally adept creative community.
