Arts in Education Platform Meeting

Mind the Gap

ELIA’s Working Group Arts in Education teams up with colleagues from the ECCITE project to focus on the gap between secondary education and higher arts education. This is a gap that some students can never bridge, be it for cultural or economic reasons. Some institutions try to minimise this access gap by integrating a secondary school into their organisations, others offer full-time preparatory courses. Does everyone get an equal chance? And what about preparation for the professional field, how does this take place? Are these ‘gaps’ the same across Europe or are there different approaches to dealing with them? Come and see the presentation on the ECCITE project and discover good practice, with colleagues from the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague, the Ernst-Litfass-Schule for vocational education Berlin and University of Plymouth International College. Working group chair Ana Telles will lead a panel discussion and the debate with the audience.
