Together with students and teachers from arts programs in the Nordic and Baltic countries, you will explore various ways of working as an artist in today’s society.
As a student, you can take part in various types of exchanges with partner institutions. This may include participating in courses, workshops, festivals, or other events related to one of the focus areas: artistic entrepreneurship, sustainable development, and cross-disciplinary collaborations.
