The project’s research focuses on educational and Life Long Learning (LLL) - rather than social or artistic – issues. Do cross-border movements of artists generate Life Long Learning processes? Do they boost creativity and innovation? How do they affect learner-teacher dynamics? And can non-formal learning resulting from artistic mobility be formalized?

To examine these questions, the project partners conduct interviews with artists from the performing and visual arts in ten EU member states: Belgium, France, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Spain, and the UK.

Their analysis of the interviews looks at different traditions of artistic mobility, studying their potential of learning effects to prepare artists for innovative leadership within the creative industries.

The comparative study, published as the result of the “Artists moving & learning” project in summer 2010, is designed as a tool for policy makers and for providers of initial artistic education.
