On the 16th December 2021 the DeuS partnership ran a unique pop-up radio station to share the project results, reflections and to set the scene for future developments of the DeuS project.
The radio was divided into several shows covering different topics on how to shape vocational and educational training for the Creative and Cultural sector project, harnessing innovative methodologies.
