We are thrilled to announce that Innovation Group Services (IGS) is embarking on an exciting new journey with our new Erasmus+ co-funded project, CreaTech Nexus: Elevating Creative Skills with AI Expertise (
Pr. No: 2024-1-DE02-KA210-VET-000245473 ). This groundbreaking initiative, led by Arvana GmbH and co-funded by Erasmus+, is set to revolutionize the way educators and creative professionals approach digital skills and artificial intelligence (AI) in their work.
A 12-Month Journey of Innovation and Learning
Over the next 12 months, CreaTech Nexus will focus on producing three key results, with the primary outcome being comprehensive training resources tailored specifically for educators and creative professionals. These resources will blend conceptual knowledge with practical, step-by-step instructional video tutorials. We believe this approach is the most effective in addressing the complex nature of digital transformation topics, as it allows educators to visually follow along and apply what they learn in real-time.
These training materials are designed not just to impart practical insights, but also to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and its practical application. By doing so, we aim to empower our target audience—educators within our partner organizations and beyond—to effectively integrate AI and other digital technologies into their pedagogical practices.
Aligning with EU Priorities and Values
CreaTech Nexus directly aligns with the Erasmus+ Horizontal Priority of addressing digital transformation through the development of digital readiness, resilience, and capacity. Our project is focused on developing inclusive outputs and innovative digital technologies that support modern pedagogies. By doing so, we hope to significantly improve the performance of educators, freelancers, and other professionals within the creative industry.
Furthermore, this initiative also addresses the VET priority of adapting vocational education and training to meet the needs of the labor market. The educators involved in this project will serve as the closest recipients of the project’s goals, acting as knowledgeable guides to help freelancers and professionals enhance their digital skills and incorporate AI into their work more effectively.
An Innovative Approach to Education
Our approach is innovative and forward-thinking, combining new learning methods with AI-based tools, continuous feedback mechanisms, and monitoring and evaluation tools. This method not only aims to meet the project’s objectives but also to initiate a broader cultural change within our own organizations. By taking into account the unique learning preferences and abilities of individuals, we ensure that our training resources are accessible and effective for all.
We strongly believe that fostering a culture of continuous learning, adaptability, and innovation is key to navigating the complexities of the digital age. Through CreaTech Nexus, we aim to empower educators to embrace and effectively integrate digital technologies and AI into their teaching practices, thereby enhancing the overall quality of education.

The impact of CreaTech Nexus extends far beyond the adoption of new technologies. Our goal is to establish a mindset shift among educators, encouraging them to view AI and digital tools not as daunting challenges, but as valuable assets that can enrich the educational experience for both teachers and learners. By cultivating a forward-thinking mindset, we aim to inspire educators to become lifelong learners and change agents within their educational communities.
This project is not just about equipping educators with practical skills—it’s about fostering a culture of curiosity, exploration, and innovation. By doing so, we hope to contribute to a broader societal shift, ensuring that learners are well-prepared for the demands of an ever-evolving, technology-driven world.
A Commitment to EU Values and Lifelong Learning
CreathTech Nexus is firmly aligned with EU values and goals, particularly in enhancing the overall quality of educational practices. By equipping citizens with the digital competencies needed for participation in the digital economy, this project supports the vision of fostering a society where learning is a lifelong pursuit.
As we embark on this exciting journey, we invite educators, creative professionals, and all those interested in the future of education and technology to join us. Together, we can shape a brighter, more innovative future for education and the creative industries.
Stay tuned for more updates on our progress, and we look forward to sharing the outcomes of this transformative project with you!
