| Introducing Tranmission Art Education |
 |
|
There are growing opportunities for employment in arts in the social realm. In order to access these jobs artists need more than pure performance or creative skills. They need to be able to cooperate, to set up projects, and to introduce their own work into a wider context. In exploring new and imaginative ways of linking artists to public and private sectors the employability of artists will be increased.
Transmission Art Education is working closely with training institutions and potential employers to examine ways in which professional artists can be given the opportunity to develop new skills that will give them access to a much wider range of employment.
Recent developments within the United Kingdom and the Netherlands are used to exchange ‘best practices’ and models on accrediting or validating acquired experimental learning within the social realm. These practices are exchanged by a unique multi-player partnership, amongst which are European training institutions, social partners and several European networks.
This exchange can only be successful linked to an active campaign about the role of the artist within the community and within the wider social environment. This role is crucial to a changing society. The arts do have a real contribution to make to matters of social inclusion, new partnerships and the new members of the European Union within a healthy society. These viewpoints need to become matter of fact in and outside the existing art world.
The history of this development dated from 1998-1999. Read here more about it.
