Further:

More and more artists work across the arts and interdisciplinary emphases in arts education are becoming increasingly important. At the same time, digital environments and new knowledge have created new ways of online learning and mentoring.

Over the past two years (September 2016 - September 2018), artists from all over the world met on a regular basis with the aim of developing ways and knowledge for arts education in this changing environment. 

Within the project Training Artists Without Borders three groups took on three different but closely related subjects:

• Cross-arts collaboration
• Mentoring as a tool for innovation 
• Online learning approaches

The research process led to inspirational experiments, urgent questions and (a few) answers that will be presented on November 30 between 3pm – 5pm at Skipholt 31.

All welcome.
