For developing Project Result 2: Pedagogical Framework (Curriculum) on Digital Arts for one core and one elective digital art course, the following activities will be undertaken: planning, research, content & methods and materials & tools.
For developing Project Result 3: Curriculum for a short-duration learning course on the basics of digital art leading to micro-credentials, the following activities will be undertaken: research & planning; course design & micro credentials and peer review & evaluation.
Also, other project activities will relate to project management in terms of progress and quality monitoring, project meetings, multiplier events, as well as, activities designed to serve dissemination, communication and exploitation purposes.

Expected results 

Training Module for art educators on Digital Arts

Sharing subaltern knowledge through international cultural collaborations
SHAKIN’

 

2020-1-FR01-KA203-080017
Cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices
Strategic Partnerships in Higher Education

SHAKIN’ is supported by six partners from four countries (France, Germany, Serbia, Sweden), with three universities and three cultural organisations, all of them being internationally recognised in their domain of activity. They join their expertise to address crucial contemporary challenges affecting European culture fields by finding new ways to think, work and collaborate, in order to provide students with an adequate professional ethos for the jobs of tomorrow. Market logic, populist policies, migrations and globalisation, ecological transition or digital technologies affected the contexts of culture management, policy, research, and teaching in various tectonic ways over the last decades. But teaching and training in culture fields have largely maintained narrowly professional, nation-based assumptions of culture, politics, participation and education. As a result, learning processes are not just ill-fitting to provide relevant knowledge and well-equipped professionals but are insensitive to excluded, marginalised and oppressed voices and life experiences of today.

Objectives

Connecting academic and subaltern knowledge through sharing research methodologies in innovative forms of thinking, learning and teaching;
Professionalising (post-graduate) students with new forms of cultural consciousness, nurtured by theoretical tools and endorsed by practical skills;
Supporting international cooperation through projects including subaltern perspectives.

Outcomes

Digital handbook Searching from the subaltern, which collects and displays research methodologies for subaltern knowledge;
Toolbox Diversifying learning environments, gathering innovative tools for learning and teaching;
A platform for international cultural project implementation, proposing skills prescriptions and tools, mentoring about intercultural professional experiences and advocating for new professional ethos in culture fields;
Curriculum Subaltern knowledge for international cultural project management, articulating the other results of the project in a short-term educational programme.
