The objectives envisaged by the three kinds of mobilities, teaching exchange, staff training, and short-term mobility, are the following: 1. Strengthen the active participation of teachers, experts, and students in international and European cooperation. 2. Improve teaching and practical methods, strategies, and techniques. 3. Increase progress, dynamic, innovative, creative, and qualitative art teaching, design, and methods in line with the objectives and policy of the Reykjavík School of Visual Arts. 4. Encourage ongoing teaching and professional development to take advantage of opportunities to pursue lifelong learning and continuing education in international and European cooperation, with the main emphasis on increasing and broadening the teachers' knowledge, experience, and expertise. 5. Facilitate students' access to art methods and techniques, new technologies, and strategies. 6. Facilitate the access of students to further art education and innovation. 7. Contribute to the qualitative execution and implementation of projects, workshops, creative art, and teaching classes.
The overall project aim was to enhance the art teaching strategies and approaches, techniques, and methods, with a particular focus on those applied to the textile, drawing/illustration, painting, and ceramic departments. The project outcomes are equally reflected in the teaching practice and students' skills. The project envisaged gaining broader knowledge and teaching skills and methodology, getting familiar with new techniques and methods, and gathering new ideas of art design practices as a result of cooperation with schools, universities, and companies in Germany, Denmark, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands. The teaching exchange of professionals and experts from abroad, the MíR teacher training abroad, and the short-term mobility of students brought creative and innovative teaching approaches and new art skills and abilities to students. And to mention a few: textile design and digital weaving, knitting, pattern design, industrial ceramic, Rembrandt graphic, ceramic 3D printing, children's books illustration, and more, outcomes further detailed in the following sections of this report.
