Our strategy for modernization and internationalization is based on the concept of sharing ideas and practices from the visual, digital, and scenic arts.

In Southern Italy, we have a natural inclination for hospitality and peer learning: Bari has always been considered the gateway to the East. This attitude forms the foundation of our educational approach, it transcends languages, beliefs, and races. Modernization is critically related to local practices and histories.

Innovation is seen as an opportunity to build an open society based on integration and interaction.

The worlds of visual, digital, and scenic arts are in constant flux. New generations increasingly need to become aware of the benefits of mobility, flows, and changes. This can be achieved through the professional and financial support that ensures cooperation, exchanges, and sharing.

Our partnerships are established through various means: the relational capital of our teachers and students, word of mouth, preparatory visits, and online contacts. Following the approach of sharing, we impose no geographical restrictions on international cooperation.

The acceptance of an agreement is based on a few key points: safety, quality of teaching, ease of access to the area, presence of artistic institutions (museums, galleries), diversity in teaching methodologies and disciplines compared to our own. We view internationalization as a process of sharing experiences and knowledge at both the local and global levels. This is the main goal of our activities aimed at the mobility of academic staff and students in the first and second cycles.

 

Erasmus Policy Statement (english)

Our modernization and internationalization strategy is based on the concept of sharing ideas and practices of figurative, digital and scenographic arts.
In Southern Italy we have a natural propensity for welcoming and learning on equal terms: Bari has always been considered the gateway to the East. This attitude is the basis of our educational approach. An approach that goes beyond languages, beliefs and races. Modernization is critically related to the practices and histories of the territory.
Innovation is understood as an opportunity to build an open society based on integration and interaction.
The worlds of figurative, digital and scenographic arts are constantly changing. The new generations increasingly need to become aware of the advantages of mobility, flows and changes. All this can be achieved thanks to the professional and financial support that guarantees cooperation, exchanges and sharing.
Our partnerships are obtained in different ways: the relational capital of our teachers and students; word of mouth; preparatory visits; online contacts. Following the sharing approach we do not have any kind of geographical restriction to international cooperation.
The acceptance of an agreement is based on a few points: safety, quality of lessons, ease of access to the territory, presence of artistic institutions (museums, galleries), diversity of teaching methodologies and disciplines compared to one's own. We understand internationalization as a process of sharing experiences and knowledge both locally and globally. This is the main objective of our activities oriented to the mobility of academic staff and students in the first and second cycle.
