Latest news about NAIP

 

The first of two Intensive programmes (IPs) in the project NAIP: ‘Training Artists Without Borders’ was held in Hafnarfjörður Iceland, 25 August – 3 September, hosted by Iceland Academy of the Arts.
 
The IP focused on building up a strong network amongst the NAIP partners and the enhancement of personal skills, self-confidence, community engagement, collaboration skills, peer evaluation and reflection. The course focused on creative collaborative learning approaches in a cross-art setting. This entailed cross-art collaboration, including skills such as developing concepts, stories, design, performance and dialogue with the community. The program started with introductory and site-specific workshops led by teachers from the participating institutions. Following the workshops, students worked on their own projects in interdisciplinary groups and had access to the course’s teachers for mentoring. The course ended with a series of events open to the public, held around the town of Hafnarfjörður in collaboration with the local community.
