Living Museums

The Living Museums: Collaborative Creation, Performance & Education Based on Museum Artefacts Intensive Program will help to improve the quality and increase the volume of student and teaching staff mobility throughout Europe by facilitating an exchange between faculty and students of European University Cyprus, the University of Hull, UK and Koninklijk Conservatorium Royal Conservatoire, The Neth

erlands. The teaching faculty for this program is comprised of practicing artists with both national and international reputations for excellence and the selection criteria for student participants are rigorous, based on an evaluation of the students past compositions, performances, artistic output and lesson plans and their potential to successfully carry out the work required by this Intensive Program. The students' overall GPA and active participation in their department and program of study has also been considered. This Program will emphasize interdisciplinary collaborations, bringing together both faculty members and students from a variety of disciplines, including composition, performance, visual arts and art theory, helping participants learn to respond to multidisciplinary approaches to learning. It should also be noted that the Department of Arts at European University Cyprus consists of both the Music and Graphic Design programs, yet there is currently no course that brings together these two programs. The Living Museums Intensive Program will fill a need for an interdisciplinary approach between the two programs in the department and help to foster greater cooperation between the two programs. In addition, collaboration with a museum is a novel, multidisciplinary approach for each of the participating institutions that will bring together students from music, visual art and education disciplines. And finally, the quality of the proposed IP as a project-based course of instruction will be of the highest level, ensuring that students gain valuable hands-on professional experiences whilst making connections between their university curriculums and real-world applications of that knowledge.
