The term CSA consists of such components:

Cultural industries are those industries producing and distributing goods or services which, at the time they are developed, are considered to have a specific attribute, use or purpose which embody or convey cultural expressions, irrespective of the commercial value they may have.

Lifelong learning is all learning activity undertaken throughout life, with the aim of improving knowledge, skills/competences and/or qualifications for personal, social and/or professional reasons (Cedefop, 2003). Cedefop distinguishes between three types of learning – formal, non-formal and informal. The creative social action conduct in form of non-formal or informal learning for adults. The learning techniques during these actions there are storytelling, visualization in forms of presentation, observing, performance etc.

There are many networking`s techniques, which assist CSA`s facilitator(s) help participants to connect with others at this kind of events as creative social actions.
