The objective of PARIX is to promote professional retraining («reskilling») and the acquisition of additional skills («upskilling»).

The Germán Sánchez Ruipérez Foundation has developed «PARIX: a school for the Spanish book», to promote the talent of book professionals in an environment of digital transformation.

PARIX is the training program for agents in the book chain for recovery and transformation through innovation and professional eXcellence. In other words, a school aimed at professionals in the fields of literary creation and translation, illustration, proofreading, editing, publishing, graphic arts, distribution, and bookstores to enhance their talent in a digital environment. The aim is to promote professional retraining (reskilling) and the acquisition of additional skills (upskilling).

This initiative aims to be a benchmark in the transformation of the Spanish book industry, and the training it offers is available both in classroom format and through an e-learning platform.

It is a project financed by the Next Generation funds and for which the Ministry of Culture and Sports has relied on the experience of the Germán Sánchez Ruipérez Foundation.
