Mobilità Internazionale

PROGRAMMI DI MOBILITÀ E STRATEGIE DI INTERNAZIONALIZZAZIONE

L’internazionalizzazione è parte essenziale del  processo di modernizzazione  in atto dell’Accademia di Belle Arti di Palermo, occasione per  misurare l’efficacia del nostro sistema formativo in rapporto ai livelli dell’offerta delle numerose Istituzioni partner e nello stesso tempo riflettere sulle nostre specificità come punti di forza da mantenere e implementare. Le opportunità  di confronto offerte dai programmi di mobilità Erasmus per  attività di studio, docenza e formazione costituiscono importanti occasioni di crescita oltre a consentire una puntuale verifica e messa a punto dei nostri obiettivi.

Le attività di mobilità internazionale ed i progetti ad esse congiunti costituiscono il centro delle strategie di internazionalizzazione dell’Accademia di Belle Arti di Palermo, che ha aderito sin dall’anno Accademico 1997-98 al Programma Erasmus. A queste attività si collegano strettamente le attività di confronto e scambio con le Istituzioni del sistema dell’Alta formazione in Europa nell’ambito delle Belle Arti attraverso convegni, progetti artistici e attività didattiche congiunte, una  verifica comune dei processi relativi all’insegnamento, alla ricerca e alla operatività dell’Alta Formazione Fine Art in Europa.
