Welcome to our 3rd International Week May 3-7
A group of International Week 2009 visitors at our rooftop garden. Our international week and TAF had international guests from 15 countries; Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Sweden, the UK, Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, Lebanon, Hungary, Iceland, Spain, Portugal, Malaysia and Italy.
The third Tampere UAS School of Art and Media International Week will be arranged May 3-7 2010. Invitations were sent in November to partners, and many of them have already told they are planning to come. The partners were asked to send preliminary expressions of interest by end of January and the final programme and list of international participants will be published on March 19.
The international guests will give workshops, tutorials, demonstrations and lectures to our students. They will also participate in two seminars, one titled Assessing Competencies in Art and Media Practical Projects and another about arranging online joint course modules and projects using social media tools.
Also students from some partner universities will come.
The participants of the previous international weeks gave very good feedback. They liked very much the opportunity to see the presentations of their colleagues, to discuss during the breaks in the International Teachers’ Lobby, and to network during the evening programme. A lot of new relationships and project ideas were born both years during the sunny spring days and nights in Tampere.
The results of some of the International Week projects will be a part of the Tampere Art Factory opening programme May 7-8 2010.
Chris Hales gave last year an Interactive Movie show, screening mostly films made by the exchange students of the Interactive Media Programme (IMP) during Chris' Interactive Film Workshops 2001-2008. After the show he met his former students, attending the show. From left to right: Franziska Emhardt (IMP 2008, Germany), Zoltán Szabo (IMP 2005, Hungary), Chris Hales (University of East London Smart Lab, Frequent School of Art and Media visiting lecturer 2001->) and Filipa Ruiz (IMP 2008 + Exchange Student 2009, Portugal)
