PROJECT
FINISHED
The project is dedicated to mobility to the European countries of the students and staff of an institution of High Culture, the Academy of Fine Arts of Bari. The Academy is going through a delicate moment, as all other Italian Academies, in advocated, not yet fully completed, delicate transition to the sector of the Italian University. The purpose of carrying out study, training, teaching in the European institutions, which are already University, is the most qualifying for our students and staff. The project is grafted on a wealth of previous relationships, agreements, experience, but has also benefited from a growing number of operational possibilities and more economical thanks to numerous agreements with the EU institutions and due to higher funds made available this year by National Erasmus Agency. So we've gone from 10 individuals in mobility (7 students and 3 teachers ) in the previous academic year to 25 individuals in mobility (18 students, 7 teachers, 1 administrative) in the current academic year. The 10 students in mobility OUT for study have been able to live experiences of study qualifying with highly trained professors, teaching facilities and life support of the students appropriate, contexts citizens culturally favorable. In addition to the mobility for study, thanks to the new ECHE from this academic year, students of the Academy of Bari were able to take advantage of mobility for training (in number of 8) in the same partner University of Academy supporting the teachers in the educational work, both at institutions such as museums, cultural centers. An internship very valid professionally for 3 students were working in a restoration site in Romania in the summer months. About the mobility of staff (4 STA and 3 STT flows) it must be said that the teaching staff (6 people) and non-teaching staff (1 person for the first time this year) was able to know how the work of Italians in Europe is greatly appreciated. In addition, has been profitable for the staff to deal with different cultural, spaces for teaching, equipment updated, efficient libraries, campuses; in short, more services for the students. The staff OUT did understand how the Italian gap is due to the structures and economic possibilities that we not possess, certainly not in most cases to the quality of the class teacher. With regard to the mobility IN, about students prevails the number of Romanians, Turks, Poles, Bulgarians, Czechs, confirming once again that Bari, for its geographical position and its history, is "Gate to the East" and is a strong attraction for citizens of Eastern Europe. About the staff flows, it confirms the relationship with the University of Art and Design of Cluj Napoca in Romania, which in addition to mobility IN and OUT are organize art exhibitions of students and teachers. There is a good flow OUT to Germany and Spain, but not vice versa (except a professor of the University Complutense of Madrid that came in Bari for a STA mobility and a student that came from the University of Aviles for study). Students and staff of the countries of Northwestern seem little interested in the Academy of Bari. In general the foreign students who come to our Academy wish to practice the techniques for which Italy has always been estimated: the design, the fresco, the theatrical disciplines (sets, costumes, stagecraft). The Erasmus activities in a few years has become one of the flagship activities of the Academy of Fine Arts of Bari and the level of attention to this sector by students, teachers and administrative staff has grown a lot. Lectures and art workshops of foreign colleagues are followed in large groups: their frequency ensures students a number of credits commensurate with the hours of work, entering in the personal curriculum of the study. The level of attention to foreign students among us is high: students are generally very well integrated. The general result of all the activities consists in the largest positive resonance of Erasmus: in the past you had to convince colleagues and students to make mobility, today we see the positive process with numerous requests for mobility.
