Sub-Title: Building Together the Future of The Profession
In response to rapid changes in the audiovisual archive and media profession, the FIAT/IFTA is working on the project of a Think Tank for education in future skills and consolidation of shared knowledge.
As a matter of fact, technological transformation, automation and digital workflows are reshaping roles, skills and professional identities, while some traditional knowledge - especially related to analogue and manual practices - is at risk of being lost.
The Think Tank missions are to:
- Monitor global trends affecting the profession.
- Anticipate skills gaps and emerging needs.
- Act as a strategic observatory for professional evolution in audiovisual archives and related fields.
To carry out these missions, it should actively establish and strengthen alliances and partnerships, and ensure diversity of expertise, professional backgrounds and geographic representation through a dedicated governance.
It will then launch its first activities, at the service of the professional community.
This Discussion panel aims to present and discuss emerging talking points and invite the audience to add to our story, through interactive polls.
It will bring together 4 participants (names to be confirmed):
- A representative of the FIAT/IFTA
- A representative of the training and education sector
- A representative of a broadcast/film archive of the south american region
- A representative of a regional archive holding TV, Radio and/or Film collections
If possible, we think that a plenary session would allow to highlight the need for ongoing education on all levels in archives, no matter the size and scope.
