As
die Angewandte is an institutional ELIA member, our staff has access to ELIA Events.International engagement
is becoming more integrated into institutions’ strategies and in the core aspects of higher education. The debate is focusing
increasingly on the ethical responsibilities that universities and academies need to take on, when developing their policies
and practices. During the last Virtual PIE event in April 2021, the PIE community explored some of the aspects around values
and ethics in international partnerships. For this next event, the ELIA Platform for Internationalisation takes the discourse
deeper in relation EDI – Equity, Diversity, and Inclusivity and what it means for higher arts education institutions.
REGISTRATION Promoting
and protecting equal rights and equity of access should be safeguarded in international education and internationalisation
policies and practices. Nevertheless, many groups remain underrepresented in higher arts education. What can we do to raise
awareness? How can we support a transition process that open doors and enables greater inclusivity?
International
colleagues bring their experiences to the conversation, talking about how to involve students’ voices, implement methods and
strategies and showcase artistic practices to stimulate the debate around the topic.
