European study on learning benefits for cross-border mobile artists"Artists moving & learning" (October 2008- October 2010), is a project financed by the European Commission under the framework of the Lifelong Learning Program, - Multilateral Projects, Networks, Accompanying“Artists moving & learning” analyses the impact of mobility of artists in Europe from an educational and Life Long Learning perspective. What are the effects of their cross-border movements –as bursaries in artists’ residencies or as guest artists in festivals, museums or galleries? Does mobility boost the creativity and of artists? Can non-formal learning resulting from artistic mobility be formalised by integrating it into initial professional education for artists? How can instruments for life-long learning target better the needs of mobile artists? To examine these questions, the “Artists moving & learning” partners have conducted interviews with artists from the performing and visual arts in ten EU Member States: Belgium, France, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Spain and the UK.
The result of the “Artists moving & learning” project will be a comparative study targeting policy-makers and educators in the cultural and artistic area. The study will be presented at an international conference in June 2010.
