Polish-Japanese Academy of IT
20–24.04.2020
The cross-cultural
workshops in arts and design, at PJAIT NEMA, provides a unique academic opportunity for students to learn from the professionals
representing the European Union, Japan and the USA. The topics of 2020 edition include visual identification, editorial illustration,
design, fine arts, graphic novels and all kinds of sequential art.
The opening lecture, titled Design Including Information Support Features for the Children
with Hearing Disability, will be delivered by professor Fusako Kusunoki of the Tama Art University (Tokyo). The second keynote
speaker is professor Warren Lehrer of the School of Visual Arts (New York) who will present the lecture titled: COVID 19!
THERE GOES MY CAREER—Not: Writing and Designing in the Face of Hard Times.
The Cross-Cultural Workshop
Week is designed to promote positive interactions between professors and students that will facilitate future, students’ intercultural
relations that occur in their daily lives and most likely, in their future careers. We also wish to integrate fine arts with
design, IT technologies and liberal arts. This approach is a trademark of the New Media Arts Department of PolishJapanese
Academy of IT. The human experience is an increasingly globalized phenomenon in which people are continually being influenced
by transnational, cross-cultural, multi-cultural and multi-ethnic interactions, including the exchange of visual symbols,
representing different pictorial traditions. We do believe that the integration of global education is essential for students
to develop the skills, knowledge, and dispositions needed for responsible participation in a democratic society and a twenty-first-century
global community.
Facing the global pandemic, we have decided to perform all the lectures and workshops online.
