PROJECT
FINISHED
In the European context, National University of Music Bucharest represents a prestigious music higher education institution. Its fame is given both by the professional quality of the involved actors (students, teachers) inside the frame of the ERASMUS + Program and by the educational offer provided. Its musical specific (one-to-one teaching, the importance of the individual study in organizing the daily schedule, the role of the artistic practice ? as a part of the university curriculum ? in developing the student?s professional profile) leads to some particularities, such as:
- The double selection of the participants (both at home and at the host institution)
- The subjective dimension of the choices (made by the student and by the professor)
- The essential role of the ERASMUS + offices in maintaining the communication between the specialized departments, student and teacher ? during the evaluation process of the application, in assuring a feedback (admission/rejection), in negotiating the disciplines and the ECTS requested by both institutions.
The individual mobility of study/placement, teaching/training had as beneficiaries students (from all the study levels: bachelor, master, doctorate), teachers and non-academic staff from the National University of Music Bucharest and had as a main goal assuring the permanency in the interuniversity cooperation and improving the internationalization strategy of the higher music education. The academic year 2014 ? 2015 reflected not only an increasing number of Inter-institutional Agreements, but also a growing interest in assuring the quality in organizing mobility. Our main partners have been chosen from higher music education institutions, cultural & research centres, publishing houses and libraries, professional institutions (orchestras, philharmonics)
The project?s results have been concentrated on each type of the mobility:
a. Students (SMS & SMP):
- Improving the learning competences and individual study within an artistic and multicultural environment
- Developing self-management competences in career management and in identifying the cooperation opportunities offered by an artistic and international environment
- Developing the artistic personality throughout an international perspective of the modern society. Increasing the capacity of integration and facing the challenges of the contemporary education and musical/artistic practice.
- Increasing the self-esteem and developing a personal profile within the music communication process, in the light of the challenges experienced in different cultural environments.
- Increasing the entrepreneurial and innovative spirit by participating and cooperating in music projects organized by the host institutions.
- Increasing the awareness towards the European values by actively integrating in the social, cultural and artistic life of the community.
- Improving the linguistic competencies, as a result of the cultural immersion and of the Online Linguistic Support (OLS) implementation
b. Teachers and non-academic staff (STA & STT)
- Improving the teaching/training/researching/administrative skills and competences
- Increasing the capacity of understanding and practically applying the modernized international perspective within the teaching/assessing process.
- Improving the teaching methodology based on the inter-institutional exchange of good practices
- Becoming aware of the complementary and formative role of the non-formal and informal education within the music education
- Improving the linguistic competences (applied to the music sector) and developing the teaching abilities in a foreign language, both at home and at the host institution
- Increasing the level of professional satisfaction in the teaching process
- Improving the professional rute and increasing the career opportunities by mentioning in the CV the international experience ? as an important and relevant indicator for the didactic/pedagogical evolution.
c. Institution:
UNMB has reevaluated its inter-institutional partnerships (53), promoting a dynamic policy ? connected to the existing requests (from teachers, students, institutions). Identifying new institutions of artistic practices (festivals, professional ensembles, schools, universities, libraries and research centers) represents a challenge and a priority in organizing and developing the mobility process.
