< What is SCART?SCART is a project in which eleven Dutch and Czech institutions for higher arteducation work together with the objective to increase the quality andinternational standing of their education by establishing a structural cooperationbetween them. SCART is the acronym for Structural Cooperation in ARTEducation between The Czech Republic and The Netherlands. The core of theproject is a coherent set of 18 projects in which the SCART institutions aim atestablishing a structural cooperation in a certain field of study. The DutchMinistry of Culture and Education co-finances the project. The SCART projectstarted in autumn 1998 and will continue until 2001. By then the cooperation willhave a structural nature.

 

< Why this project?SCART exists because the participating institution want to strengthen the qualityand international standing of their education by realising structural internationalcooperation between them over the next three years.By means of their cooperation the SCART institutions try to achieve thefollowing during the project period:1. To further develop the curricula of a number of courses of the Czech andDutch institutions. In a few cases, joint educational modules will be developed.2. To arrive at a system of international quality control3. To promote distance learning as a method4. To promote the application of new media in education5. To arrive at a system of recognition of (parts of) each other's curriculum,preferably using the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS)6. To arrive at a structural programme of student and lecturer exchanges7. To arrive at a structural exchange of knowledge and experience8. To contribute to the development of new cultural relations and activity

Who is involved in SCART?Eleven Dutch and Czech institutions that offer higher art education participate inthe SCART project: the SCART consortium. The SCART-consortium representthe vast majority of art education in both countries. The four largest institutionsin the consortium, who took the initiative for the SCART project, form the coremembers. They are: Utrecht School of the Arts, Amsterdam School of the Arts,Academy of Perfoming Arts Prague and Janacek Academy of Perfoming ArtsBrno. The seven other institutions are called the participating members. Moreinformation about these institutions can be found in a seperate section of theSCART website.

 

< Why art education?Owing to the specific nature of the content and form of the education, arteducation holds a special position, in which its ties with the interests of nationalculture in general also play a role. This special position applies in the Netherlands- as is apparent from, for example, the various special schemes of the ministryresponsible for the art education sector - but equally it also does in The CzechRepublic.The main objective of the project is to strengthen the quality and internationalstanding of art education. One of the ways in which this project attempts to do sois to join and influence the European standards with regard to quality controlwithin the sector. The most obvious way of realising this type of objective is tojoin forces as a national sector and to take advantages of each other's strongpoints.Beside this pragmatic reason, there is a more content-related reason for notunderestimating the importance of the arts in the structural educationcooperation. The far-reaching cooperation and integration of Western, Centraland Eastern European countries goes hand in hand with extensive culturalchanges in the relations between these countries. History teaches us that the fieldof the arts (in the broadest sense of the word) can make an important contributionto this process of change, thanks to the communicative nature of the arts. Thecultural meetings allow the identities of the various countries and institutions tocome into their own. The arts have always been characterised by an ability tocross boundaries, both literally and metaphorically. The new media canconsiderably promote and intensify this process in terms of information andcommunication.Finally, there is a specifically social and economic reason. Broad internationalrecognition is growing for the fact that art and cultural products have increasingimportance in social and economic dealings. The expectation is that the marketshare of "creative products" and the level of "creativity" in standard products willcontinue to increase, for the time being. This development requires anticipationfrom (international) art education and also makes demands on the additionalskills of the future artist. Over the past few years, expertise has been built uprapidly at this crossroads of art education, economics and management,particularly in art education (in the Netherlands and in the Czech Republic, and inparticular among the four partners in the project).

< Why the Czech Republic and The Netherlands?When the Russians occupied my small country in 1968, all my books were bannedand I lost every legal means of earning a living.In Prague, eye to eye with the eternity of the Russian night, I experienced the violentend of the western culture as it had developed at the dawn of modern time, based onthe individual and reason, pluralism of thought and on tolerance. In a small westerncountry I experienced the fall of the West. That was the long goodbye.Quote by the Czech author Milan Kundera - renowned for the novel The UnbearableLightness of Being - from the introduction to the publication of his play Jacques andHis Master (1981).

After 1989, the Czech Republic together with Hungary and Poland, was one ofthe few Central and Eastern European countries to rapidly develop into a countrythat could once again be on a par with the countries of Western Europe, botheconomically and culturally. The Czech Republic was selected to be the first tonegotiate with regard to joining the European Union. Although there are stillmarked differences - which should not be underestimated - with the EUcountries, the Czech Republic has the potential to become an important Europeanplayer, both economically and culturally. Good economic and cultural relationsare therefore of increasing importance to The Netherlands.Dutch art education can play its own role in these relations for its own interestsand motives. The content and nature of art education in the Netherlands and theCzech Republic differs on a number of points. Dutch art education could profitfrom a number of the strengths of Czech art education, such as the ensembleculture in the field of classical music, the expertise in the field of movementtheatre and puppet theatre and scenography, the knowledge in the field of artmanagement in Eastern Europe and the artisanal animation techniques, to namebut a few. Many of these strengths originate from the pre-1968 period of vibrantartistic innovation which greatly influenced the arts and culture of WesternEurope in those years. Since the early nineties, the Czech Republic seems to onceagain be adopting its traditional role as a European innovator in the arts.Strategic instruments, such as the joint development and harmonization ofcurricula and the mutual recognition of courses, will have to be used to give thecooperation a structural character. The Czech institutions have already gainedsome experience and more importantly they are very interested.A third, pragmatic reason is that there are already a large number of contactsbetween the institutions involved. This is a clear indication that cooperation inpractice does not encounter insurmountable cultural, educational or financialbarriers.Finally, the Czech Republic and the Netherlands have a number of statistics incommon, such as the number of inhabitants (in general terms), their position asminor-language countries, the acceptance of English as lingua franca ininternational education, the long tradition and appreciation of art education andthe role culture plays in international relations in general. Particularly whenmatters such as "higher education as an export product" start to play a role, whichis not unimaginable for art education, this will constitute a solid basis for anypossible joint approach.

How to do SCARTAn emphatic choice was made for a project-based approach to the SCART work,because most advantages of project-based work apply: promoting results-orientedworking, good monitoring possibilities, phasing, working in multi-disciplinaryteams, clear responsibility structure, relatively simple financial management andcontrol and, last but not least, connection to the reality of finite financing.Within the framework of the main SCART-project 18 different coherentsubprojects are defined, each withing a field of study and each with its ownobjective. A desription of these projects can be found in a seperate section of theSCART website.The SCART coordinator is responsible for the day to day management of theproject and the monitoring system to keep the project going. The SCARTsteering committee must take care of the long term decisions. As initiator andlegal grantholder Utrecht School of the Arts bears the final responsibility of theSCART project.For pragmatic reasons the SCART-language is English. More information aboutmanagement and organisation can be found in a seperate section of the SCARTwebsite.

<Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht (HKU),Utrecht School of the Arts (coordinator)

The Utrecht School of the Arts is among the largest professional arteducation institutions in the Netherlands. The choice of courses isbroad and comprises approximately thirty courses ranging frompreparatory course to PhD level. Structural cooperation with the AMUin Prague has been taking place since 1993 in the field of music,theatre design (joint Master of Arts course) and audio-visual media.The TEMPUS programme of the European Commission and the STIRprogramme of the Netherlands authorities have supported thiscooperation. Together with the AHK, the HKU has had cooperation fora number of years now within the discipline of theatre with the JAMUin Brno, partly thanks to the fact that Utrecht is twinned with Brno.The HKU has had a consistent policy of internationalisation for years.The ample experience with international activities (including a numberof projects in the field of international recognition of art education) hasled to a strong, centrally controlled infrastructure for the managementof international projects, which makes the institution suitable ascontractor. The Twijnstra & Gudde agency is coordinating theintroduction of a widely supported quality control system within theHKU within the framework of the Quality & Educational Efficiencyprojects. The quality control management experience gained will beused in the project. ECTS has been integrally introduced as a system ofinternational recognition within the institution. The participation of theFaculty of Art, Media & Technology means that the expertise of thisfaculty in the field of new media can benefit the project. The sameapplies to the expertise of the Centrum voor Kunst & MediaManagement (Centre for Art and Media Management).For more general information visit the homepage of the HKU.

Amsterdamse Hogeschool voor de Kunsten(AHK),Amsterdam School for the Arts

The Amsterdamse Hogeschool voor de Kunsten is the second of thelargest institutions in the field of higher professional art education inthe Netherlands. As is the case for the HKU, the AHK provides abroad range of courses. The courses in the field of Music, Theatre andArt Management of the AHK participate in the consortium with theircolleagues from the HKU, but the consortium also consists of acontribution from the AHK in the field of two courses unique to theNetherlands, namely Museology and Technical Theatre. In the recentpast, cooperative projects have taken place between the AHK and theAMU Prague in the field of film, dance and mime. Initial discussionswere held between the Conservatoires of the AHK and Prague oncooperation in the field of the Early Music course. An intensiveexchange, which also involves Utrecht, has been taking place for someyears now between the theatre school festivals of the JAMU in Brnoand those of Amsterdam. In cooperation with the HKU and theEuropean League of Institutes of Arts Education (ELIA), the Theatreand Art Management courses organised the international seminar 'TheManagement of International Projects in Arts Education' in June 1995,to which the Czech Republic made a considerable contribution. Forsome years now, the Reinwardt Academie of the AHK has beenexchanging lecturers with the museology department of the MasarykUniversity. The Interfaculty of Art Management used a number oftrainees for the preparation of the previous Quadrennial in Prague inthe field of Theatre Design.The AHK has made internationalisation one of the spearheads of itspolicy. The international orientation of the AHK is apparent from thelarge number of foreign students (30 % of regular students is of foreigndescent, of which a considerable number are from Eastern Europe,including the Czech Republic).The AHK has ample experience with international projects and isinternationally renowned. Currently, the AHK is actively introducingthe European Credit Transfer System and an internationalbench-marking project in the context of the Quality and EducationalEfficiency projects.For more general information visit the homepage of the AHK.

Akademie Múzickych Umení v Praze (AMU),Academy of Performing Arts Prague

The Academy of Performing Arts Prague is the Czech Republic'slargest institution in the field of higher professional art education andoffers a broad range of courses in the field of music, theatre and film.The cooperation with the Dutch institutions is limited primarily to theabove-mentioned cooperation activities with the HKU and AHK. Atvarious points, the nature and content of the education differs from thatat the Dutch institutions for cultural and historic reasons. There arespecific advantages for the Dutch institutions in the cooperation,particularly in the fields in which the AMU continues Czech culturaltraditions and the (artisanal) use of artistic instruments (for example,Czech animation films, puppet theatre, mime and ensemble music).The AMU is open to external influences and is very activeinternationally, particularly taking into account its historic andeconomic position.For more information about the music faculty of AMU visit thehomepage of the HAMU.For more information about the film faculty of AMU visit thehomepage of the FAMU.

 

<Janáckovy Akademie Múzickych Umení v Brne(JAMU),Janácek Academy of Music and Dramatic ArtsBrno

The Janácek Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts Brno is the CzechRepublic's second largest institution in the field of higher professionalart education in the performing arts. This institution can be consideredas the initiator of the cooperation project as it was during aninternational festival organised by the JAMU that representatives fromall partners participating now cooperated and eventually arrived at thefirst plans for further structural cooperation. The JAMU has developeda large number of initiatives, particularly in the field of interculturaltheatre, which are much appreciated for their quality. Thisinternational experience (and their internationally leading role) is oneof the aspects of the JAMU, which is specifically interesting to theDutch institutions, besides the more general aspects mentioned withregard to the AMU.For more general information visit the homepage of the JAMU.

<Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht (HKU),Utrecht School of the Arts (coordinator)

The Utrecht School of the Arts is among the largest professional arteducation institutions in the Netherlands. The choice of courses isbroad and comprises approximately thirty courses ranging frompreparatory course to PhD level. Structural cooperation with the AMUin Prague has been taking place since 1993 in the field of music,theatre design (joint Master of Arts course) and audio-visual media.The TEMPUS programme of the European Commission and the STIRprogramme of the Netherlands authorities have supported thiscooperation. Together with the AHK, the HKU has had cooperation fora number of years now within the discipline of theatre with the JAMUin Brno, partly thanks to the fact that Utrecht is twinned with Brno.The HKU has had a consistent policy of internationalisation for years.The ample experience with international activities (including a numberof projects in the field of international recognition of art education) hasled to a strong, centrally controlled infrastructure for the managementof international projects, which makes the institution suitable ascontractor. The Twijnstra & Gudde agency is coordinating theintroduction of a widely supported quality control system within theHKU within the framework of the Quality & Educational Efficiencyprojects. The quality control management experience gained will beused in the project. ECTS has been integrally introduced as a system ofinternational recognition within the institution. The participation of theFaculty of Art, Media & Technology means that the expertise of thisfaculty in the field of new media can benefit the project. The sameapplies to the expertise of the Centrum voor Kunst & MediaManagement (Centre for Art and Media Management).For more general information visit the homepage of the HKU.

Initial discussionswere held between the Conservatoires of the AHK and Prague oncooperation in the field of the Early Music course. An intensiveexchange, which also involves Utrecht, has been taking place for someyears now between the theatre school festivals of the JAMU in Brnoand those of Amsterdam. In cooperation with the HKU and theEuropean League of Institutes of Arts Education (ELIA), the Theatreand Art Management courses organised the international seminar 'TheManagement of International Projects in Arts Education' in June 1995,to which the Czech Republic made a considerable contribution.

The Academy of Performing Arts Prague is the Czech Republic'slargest institution in the field of higher professional art education andoffers a broad range of courses in the field of music, theatre and film.The cooperation with the Dutch institutions is limited primarily to theabove-mentioned cooperation activities with the HKU and AHK. Atvarious points, the nature and content of the education differs from thatat the Dutch institutions for cultural and historic reasons. There arespecific advantages for the Dutch institutions in the cooperation,particularly in the fields in which the AMU continues Czech culturaltraditions and the (artisanal) use of artistic instruments (for example,Czech animation films, puppet theatre, mime and ensemble music).The AMU is open to external influences and is very activeinternationally, particularly taking into account its historic andeconomic position.For more information about the music faculty of AMU visit thehomepage of the HAMU.For more information about the film faculty of AMU visit thehomepage of the FAMU.

This institution can be consideredas the initiator of the cooperation project as it was during aninternational festival organised by the JAMU that representatives fromall partners participating now cooperated and eventually arrived at thefirst plans for further structural cooperation. The JAMU has developeda large number of initiatives, particularly in the field of interculturaltheatre, which are much appreciated for their quality.

subproject).

How to claim costs

General rules1. Claims should preferably be made by institutions. In exceptionalcases individiuals can claim directly as well.2. The financial coordinator of a subproject is responsible for theexpenditures made in the subproject. Therefor the coordinator of asubproject must approve every claim of the subproject concerned.3. The central project coordinator is responsible for checking theclaims for eligibility and correct calculation and to preventoverspending the budgets. All claims should be sent (after approval byfinancial subproject coordinator) to him.4. Only costs that will be claimed from the grant will apply to theserules. Do not include own contributions in your claims.

The procedureIf a staff member plans to make expenses in the framework of theSCART project the following steps should be followed.1. Request for permission from financial coordinator of the subprojectto incur expenses in the subproject budget.2. If you need a personal advance, ask your institute about thepossibilities.3. Execute your activity and make costs.4. Claim your costs from the financial SCART contact person at yourinstitute. Include all proofs of your costs, because costs without proofcannot be reimbursed.5. Financial contactperson at your institute fills in the form forreimbursement and signs it.6. Financial contactperson at your institute sends the form forreimbursement to the central SCART project coordinator in Utrecht.7. Central SCART project coordinator in Utrecht checks thereimbursement form, takes care for formal approval from the financialcoordinator of subproject and will arrange the money transfer oradministrative deduction from the institutional advance.

Advance payments

Institutions can request for an advance payment of expenses that willbe claimed from individual staff members from the institution. Therequest should be done in writing by the institutional financial SCARTcontact person and send or faxed to the SCART project coordinator.

Advances will be registered seperately and are formally treated as adebt from the institution concerned to the grantholder of the project,Utrecht School of the Arts. Institutions remain responsible for claimingall expenses according to the procedures and rules as descibed in thisdocument. Advances that will not be covered with approved claimsmust be paid back.

 

<What about the own contribution

One of the conditions of the Dutch Ministry of Education that issuedthe grant, is that the institutions make an own financial contribution of50% of the project budget.

We will be able to justify this own contribution in a merelyadministrative matter. We plan to do this in two ways:1. by means of the overhead costs2. by carefully counting all the hours staff is spending to the project.The majority of these hours will not be claimed and could therefor beused to justify the own contribution.for example: time spent during start conference, a large percentage ofcoordination time, a large percentage of staff time spent abroad in thesubprojects.

To prove that these hours have been spent to the project we needstatements about this. We will issue statement forms to each subprojectcoordinator for this reason.

Dutch - Czech Republic structural cooperation for higher professional art education/page 2

Introduction

The following is an ambitious application. This is the first time in history that several Dutch

art educational institutions have cooperated on the preparation of an international project of

this size. And the cooperation was successful: the application is well over 40 pages in

length and consists of 17 subprojects. The main objective is something to be proud of: the

improvement of the quality and international standing of Dutch art education by realising a

structural cooperation with the Czech Republic.

It is also a realistic application. All the initiatives in the application are continuations of

existing cooperations and contacts. And besides providing content-related motivations, the

plan also pays a great deal of attention to the feasibility of the intentions. The application

includes a large number of texts which concern organisation and management, concrete

objectives, plans and detailed budgets. We opted for this approach in order to be fully

prepared should our application be granted, and not because we wanted to give you more to

read.

The application is also a good one. There are countless opportunities for Dutch art

education to improve its level of quality and its international standing by means of a

structural cooperation with the Czech Republic. These opportunities have been inventoried,

analysed and grouped in mutually cohesive subprojects. It is this cohesion between the

subprojects that gives the project its added value. An added value, which could only be

achieved by forming the consortium.

We hope to be able to realise this added value in practice.

II Clarification consortium

Why a consortium?

Owing to the project's objective (see Chapter III), a broad but monosectoral cooperation has

been opted for. The following criteria were used for selecting the core members of the

consortium: representative nature of the national professional art education (quantitative

and qualitative), existing educational relationships between the Netherlands and the Czech

Republic, experience with international cooperation, experience with modern media, experience

with art management, correspondence of the intended project with institutional policy and

naturally, the added value the institution can provide to the cooperation. All core members

had high scores for these criteria, as the following introduction will show.

The cooperation between the HKU and the AHK means that the majority of the existing

Dutch-Czech Republic art education initiatives can be included in the project and, in principle,

40 % of all professional art students in the Netherlands can be reached.

The ideal is to reach all the art education institutions and therefore also all the art students

in the Netherlands and the Czech Republic. The intention is to expand the number of

partners within the consortium in the coming years. Prior to this, six institutions, four from

the Netherlands and two from the Czech Republic will already participate in a few of the

consortium's subprojects. The expectation is that at the close of the first year, the project

will have been given sufficient momentum by the core members to be able to expand the

consortium in the second year.

Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht (Utrecht School of the Arts) (HKU)

The Utrecht School of the Arts and the Amsterdamse Hogeschool voor de Kunsten

(Amsterdam School of the Arts) are among the largest professional art education

institutions in the Netherlands. The choice of courses is broad and comprises approximately

thirty courses ranging from preparatory course to PhD level. Structural cooperation with the

AMU in Prague has been taking place since 1993 in the field of music, theatre design (joint

Master of Arts course) and audio-visual media. The TEMPUS programme of the European

Commission and the STIR programme of the Netherlands authorities have supported this

cooperation (see Appendix). Together with the AHK we have had cooperation for a number of

years now within the discipline of theatre with the JAMU in Brno, partly thanks to the fact

that Utrecht is twinned with Brno. The HKU has had a consistent policy of

internationalisation for years. The ample experience with international activities (including a

number of projects in the field of international recognition of art education) has led to a

strong, centrally controlled infrastructure for the management of international projects, which

makes the institution suitable as contractor. The Twijnstra & Gudde agency is coordinating

the introduction of a widely supported quality control system within the HKU within the

framework of the Quality & Educational Efficiency projects. The quality control management

experience gained will be used in the project. Last year, ECTS was integrally introduced as a

system of international recognition within the institution. The participation of the Faculty of

Art, Media & Technology means that the expertise of this faculty in the field of new media

can benefit the project. The same applies to the expertise of the Centrum voor Kunst &

Media Management (Centre for Art and Media Management).

Amsterdamse Hogeschool voor de Kunsten (Amsterdam School for the Arts) (AHK)

The Amsterdamse Hogeschool voor de Kunsten is the second of the two largest institutions

in the field of higher professional art education in the Netherlands. As is the case for the

HKU, the AHK provides a broad range of courses. The courses in the field of Music, Theatre

and Art Management of the AHK participate in the consortium with their colleagues from the

HKU, but the consortium also consists of a contribution from the AHK in the field of two

courses unique to the Netherlands, namely Museology and Technical Theatre. In the recent

past, cooperative projects have taken place between the AHK and the AMU Prague in the

field of film, dance and mime. Initial discussions were held between the Conservatoires of

the AHK and Prague on cooperation in the field of the Early Music course. An intensive

exchange, which also involves Utrecht, has been taking place for some years now between

the theatre school festivals of the JAMU in Brno and those of Amsterdam. In cooperation

with the HKU and the European League of Institutes of Arts Education (ELIA), the Theatre

Dutch - Czech Republic structural cooperation for higher professional art education/page 7

and Art Management courses organised the international seminar 'The Management of

International Projects in Arts Education' in June 1995, to which the Czech Republic made a

considerable contribution. For some years now, the Reinwardt Academie of the AHK has

been exchanging lecturers with the museology department of the Masaryk University. The

Interfaculty of Art Management used a number of trainees for the preparation of the

previous Quadrennial in Prague in the field of Theatre Design.

The AHK has made internationalisation one of the spearheads of its policy. The international

orientation of the AHK is apparent from the large number of foreign students (30 % of regular

students is of foreign descent, of which a considerable number are from Eastern Europe,

including the Czech Republic).

The AHK has ample experience with international projects and is internationally renowned.

Currently, the AHK is actively introducing the European Credit Transfer System and an

international bench-marking project in the context of the Quality and Educational Efficiency

projects.

Academy of Performing Arts Prague (AMU)

The Academy of Performing Arts Prague is the Czech Republic's largest institution in the field

of higher professional art education and offers a broad range of courses in the field of

music, theatre and film. The cooperation with the Dutch institutions is limited primarily to the

above-mentioned cooperation activities with the HKU and AHK. At various points, the nature

and content of the education differs from that at the Dutch institutions for cultural and

historic reasons. There are specific advantages for the Dutch institutions in the cooperation,

particularly in the fields in which the AMU continues Czech cultural traditions and the

(artisanal) use of artistic instruments (for example, Czech animation films, puppet theatre,

mime and ensemble music). The AMU is open to external influences and is very active

internationally, particularly taking into account its historic and economic position.

Janácek Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts Brno (JAMU)

The Janácek Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts Brno is the Czech Republic's second

largest institution in the field of higher professional art education in the performing arts. This

institution can be considered as the initiator of the cooperation project as it was during an

international festival organised by the JAMU that representatives from all partners

participating now cooperated and eventually arrived at the first plans for further structural

cooperation. The JAMU has developed a large number of initiatives, particularly in the field of

intercultural theatre, which are much appreciated for their quality. This international experience

(and their internationally leading role) is one of the aspects of the JAMU, which is specifically

interesting to the Dutch institutions, besides the more general aspects mentioned with

regard to the AMU.

Dutch - Czech Republic structural cooperation for higher professional art education/page 8

III Justification and objectives of the project

Why the Czech Republic?

When the Russians occupied my small country in 1968, all my books were banned

and I lost every legal means of earning a living.

In Prague, eye to eye with the eternity of the Russian night, I experienced the violent

end of the western culture as it had developed at the dawn of modern time, based on

the individual and reason, pluralism of thought and on tolerance. In a small western

country I experienced the fall of the West. That was the long goodbye.

Quote by the Czech author Milan Kundera - renowned for the novel The Unbearable Lightness of

Being - from the introduction to the publication of his play Jacques and His Master (1981).

After 1989, the Czech Republic together with Hungary and Poland, was one of the few

Central and Eastern European countries to rapidly develop into a country that could once

again be on a par with the countries of Western Europe, both economically and culturally. It

is telling that the Czech Republic was selected to be the first to negotiate with regard to

joining the European Union. Although there are still marked differences - which should not be

underestimated - with the EU countries, the Czech Republic has the potential to become an

important European player, both economically and culturally. Good economic and cultural

relations are therefore of increasing importance to the Netherlands.

Dutch art education can play its own role in these relations for its own interests and

motives.

The content and nature of art education in the Netherlands and the Czech Republic differs

on a number of points. Dutch art education could profit from a number of the strengths of

Czech art education, such as the ensemble culture in the field of classical music, the

expertise in the field of movement theatre and puppet theatre and scenography, the

knowledge in the field of art management in Eastern Europe and the artisanal animation

techniques, to name but a few. Many of these strengths originate from the pre-1968 period

of vibrant artistic innovation which greatly influenced the arts and culture of Western Europe

in those years. Since the early nineties, the Czech Republic seems to once again be adopting

its traditional role as a European innovator in the arts.

Strategic instruments, such as the joint development and harmonization of curricula and the

mutual recognition of courses, will have to be used to give the cooperation a structural

character. The Czech institutions have already gained some experience and more importantly

they are very interested.

A third, pragmatic reason is that there are already a large number of contacts between the

institutions involved. This is a clear indication that cooperation in practice does not

encounter insurmountable cultural, educational or financial barriers.

Finally, the Czech Republic and the Netherlands have a number of statistics in common,

such as the number of inhabitants (in general terms), their position as minor-language

countries, the acceptance of English as lingua franca in international education, the long

tradition and appreciation of art education and the role culture plays in international relations

in general. Particularly when matters such as "higher education as an export product" start

to play a role, which is not unimaginable for art education, this will constitute a solid basis

for any possible joint approach.

Dutch - Czech Republic structural cooperation for higher professional art education/page 9

Why art education?

It is important that art education - as one of the sectors of higher professional education in

the Netherlands - is also able to play a proportional role in structural international

cooperation. The decision to submit an application as a sectoral consortium was based on

both content-related and pragmatic reasons.

Owing to the abnormal nature of the content and form of the education, art education holds

a special position, in which its ties with the interests of national culture in general also play a

role. This special position applies in the Netherlands - as is apparent from, for example, the

various special schemes of the ministry responsible for the art education sector - but equally

it also does in most other countries.

The main objective of the project is to strengthen the quality and international standing of

art education. One of the ways in which this project attempts to do so is to join and

influence the European standards with regard to quality control within the sector. The most

obvious way of realising this type of objective is to join forces as a national sector and to

take advantages of each other’s strong points.

Besides this pragmatic reason, there is a more content-related reason for not

underestimating the importance of the arts in the structural education cooperation. The far-

reaching cooperation and integration of Western, Central and Eastern European countries

goes hand in hand with extensive cultural changes in the relations between these countries.

History teaches us that the field of the arts (in the broadest sense of the word) can make

an important contribution to this process of change, thanks to the communicative nature of

the arts. The cultural meetings allow the identities of the various countries and institutions

to come into their own. The arts have always been characterised by an ability to cross

boundaries, both literally and metaphorically. The new media can considerably promote and

intensify this process in terms of information and communication.

Finally, there is a specifically social and economic reason. Broad international recognition is

growing for the fact that art and cultural products have increasing importance in social and

economic dealings. The expectation is that the market share of "creative products" and the

level of "creativity" in standard products will continue to increase, for the time being. This

development requires anticipation from (international) art education and also makes demands

on the additional skills of the future artist. Over the past few years, expertise has been built

up rapidly at this crossroads of art education, economics and management, particularly in art

education (in the Netherlands and in the Czech Republic, and in particular among the four

partners in the project).

Main objective

The project intends to strengthen the quality and international standing of Dutch higher art

education by realising structural international cooperation with the Czech Republic over the

next three years.

Sub-objectives

The project intends to achieve the following by means of cooperation with the Czech

partners:

1. To further develop the curricula of a number of courses of the Dutch institutions. In a

few cases, educational modules will be developed together

2. To arrive at a system of international quality control

3. To promote distance learning as a method

4. To promote the application of new media in education

5. To arrive at a system of recognition of (parts of) each other’s curriculum, preferably using

the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS)

6. To arrive at a structural programme of student and lecturer exchanges

7. To arrive at a structural exchange of knowledge and experience

8. To contribute to the development of new cultural relations and activity

Dutch - Czech Republic structural cooperation for higher professional art education/page 10

IV Content-based description

Introduction

The intent of the project is to bring about a substantial and structural cooperation between

the sectors of higher art education in the Netherlands and the Czech Republic within a

period of three years, thereby contributing to the quality, appeal and international standing

of Dutch higher art education.

Eight sub-objectives derived from the main objective have been formulated and are listed

separately in Chapter III of this application.

Because of its ambition and size and for management reasons, the project has been split

into a number of subprojects, each of which is directly related to one or more sub-objectives.

Closer inspection reveals that two main themes can be distinguished in the many

subprojects:

1. improvements to the quality control of Dutch higher art education according to

international standards, by means of activities in the field of curriculum development and

quality control

2. improving international standing by means of activities in the field of information exchange

and mutual recognition.

Organisation and management

An emphatic choice was made for a project-based approach. All the advantages of project-

based work apply: promoting results-oriented working, good monitoring possibilities,

phasing, working in multi-disciplinary teams, clear responsibility structure, relatively simple

financial management and control and, last but not least, connection to the reality of finite

financing. To offset the disadvantages of project-based work (harmonisation of projects by

means of regular activities by the organisation, mutual harmonisation of projects), a small

control group is to be established with at least one representative per institution.

Each subproject has a project team, a chairman of the project team, an end-result to be

achieved and, of course, a budget. The chairmen report to the control group. The control

group reports to the institutions. See Chapter V for financial management.

Language

For pragmatic reasons the lingua franca will be English. Reporting to the ministry will take

place in Dutch. Because not all the current teaching material is available in English, some

translations will have to be made incidentally.

Reporting and accountability

The contractor will provide content-related and financial reports to the Minister of Education,

Culture and Science on behalf of the consortium in accordance with the regulation and

possible future execution agreements.

2. Amsterdamse Hogeschool voor de Kunsten

3. Akademie Múzickych Umení v Praze

4. Janáckovy Akademie Múzickych Umení v Brne

5. Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Arnhem

Place: Utrecht

Time: September 1998

Objective: Composing the project teams, making operational agreements

on all subprojects, making agreements on mutual

harmonisation via the control group and motivating

participants

In line with sub-objective 1 up to 8

Description:

The conference is a means of assembling as many of the involved parties from all the

institutions as possible.

Firstly, this has an organisational objective. The organisational and content-related detailing

of the subprojects will be worked on by means of alternating plenary meetings and

workshop-style meetings. Arrangements will also have to be made with regard to the

operation of the control group. Naturally, the conference will take the application as its point

of departure, but it will try to maintain flexibility with regard to changed (financial)

circumstances and recent developments. The agreements made during this conference are to

be recorded in a Netherlands-Czech Republic overview, which will act as the 'leitmotiv' during

the entire project period.

The conference must also be emphatically motivating. Gathering those involved, working in

teams from the start and especially the informal getting acquainted with people will have a

motivating effect which is necessary for this type of project. That is why, in addition to the

"organisational" programme, there will be a great deal of attention paid to cultural and social

events. The time and the place have been chosen in such a way that there is cohesion with

Subproject 11 (Drama education for the deaf) and the cultural exchange in the context of the

twins towns Utrecht - Brno.

1999/2000 and further:

In principle, the initial conference is a one-off. The organisation will strive to hold an annual

meeting where a large number of those involved meet simultaneously. However, for financial

reasons it will be smaller.

Costs:

1. travel expenses 15 persons from CZ in NL 15000

2. accommodation costs 15 persons from CZ in NL, 4 days 18000

3. accommodation costs 18 persons from NL in NL 3000

Subproject 2 Training in quality control

Title subproject: Training in quality control

Participating institutions: 1. Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht

2. Akademie Múzickych Umení v Praze

3. Janáckovy Akademie Múzickych Umení v Brne,

4. Amsterdamse Hogeschool voor de Kunsten

Place: Utrecht

Time: second half of the 1998/1999 academic year

Objective: Setting up and executing training route for quality control

within art education in an international context.

In line with sub-objective 2

Description:

There is great interest, both in the Netherlands and in the Czech Republic, in the

development (and maintenance) of methods to guarantee the quality of the education. An

important instrument for measuring the quality of education is the quality of the "end

products" of the students. In art education this "measurement" is inevitably subject to

individual and culturally determined subjectivity.

Efforts from within art education in the field of quality control are a necessity in connection

with the increasing demand for international comparatives of the courses on offer, the

necessity of further international mutual recognition of education and international

harmonisation with regard to the definitions of study performance.

Within this subproject, an English-language training course will be developed and executed

with quality control as its theme. The target group of the training is managers and

management personnel of the art education institutions in the Netherlands and the Czech

Republic. We have a group of approximately 10 people in mind. Subjects that will be dealt

with are: measuring results, education development, validation and accreditation processes,

the role of the manager, the role of the lecturer. The Czech background of the majority of the

participants will specifically be taken into account.

The experience the HKU gained during their internal management training in the field of quality

control, coordinated by Twijnstra & Gudde, will partly be used for the development of the

training. This also applies to the AHK's expertise in the field of international benchmarking of

aspects of professional art education in an international context (including Central and

Eastern Europe).

Attention will be paid to research into the method of inviting international lecturers to sit on

each other’s Board of Examiners as external experts, which is - in principle - suitable for art

education.

The interest for the Dutch institutions lies in the comparison between the situation in the

Czech Republic and that in the Netherlands, in more detailed attention to and making explicit

the quality control within the institution and finally the further acquisition of expertise with

regard to this point for any possible future internal and external training activities.

8. Univerzita Masarykova, Brno

9. Akademie Vytvarnych Umení, Praag

10. Vysoka Skola Umeleckoprumyslova, Praag

Place: not applicable

Time: not applicable

Objective: The dissemination of information of various natures for the

benefit of education itself (distance learning), for the benefit

of the content of the subprojects and to facilitate

management of the subprojects. The development of a

website as infrastructure plays a leading role in this. The

website could in the long-term grow into the digital information

centre with regard to higher education cooperation between

the Czech Republic and the Netherlands.

In line with sub-objective 3, 4, 7 and 8

Description:

Information plays a crucial role in this project. To do justice to this interest, the presentation

and dissemination of information has been classed as a separate subproject. The intention

is that a website be developed for this project on the HKU server (with the help of the

computer centre and students of the Faculty of Art, Media & Technology).

This website has two types of application:

1. distance learning (tele-learning, distance education): a number of subprojects have

included the development of projects for distance learning as an objective. Think, for

example, of discussions on each other’s work and interactive writing and designing. Digital

knowledge banks can be created for the sectors of the courses concerned. The subprojects

in which this application will be used have included this in their description.

2. project information: each subproject is to be given its own page which presents the

project and reports (by means of text, photographs and films) on the progress of the

project. Links to content-related sites are to be added. Here too, discussion will be possible.

Space could also be included for management information with regard to the project.

Planning, budgets, minutes, etc.

3. information on (education) in the Netherlands and the Czech Republic: Due to the growing

amount of information concerning the project, a point will be reached where the nature and

objective of the page will have to be adapted. By adding information from other cooperative

projects with the Czech Republic and a good catalogue of external links, the website can, in

due course, expand into a general Dutch information point on educational cooperation

between the Netherlands and the Czech Republic in general.

Dutch - Czech Republic structural cooperation for higher professional art education/page 14

Furthermore, information will be disseminated via traditional means, an annual newsletter.

This newsletter has Dutch and Czech art students and lecturers including those from

universities of professional education that are not participating in the project as its main

target group.

Costs:

1. development website 9000

2. maintenance website for the first year 2000

3. supply and processing website (text, photographs, films etc.) 5000

4. organisation costs (including editing) 160 hours NL 12000

5. translation costs 3000

6. newsletter production costs 3000

Subproject 4 Curriculum development for

art management

Title subproject: Curriculum development arts management

Participating institutions: 1. Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht

2. Akademie Múzickych Umení v Praze

3. Janáckovy Akademie Múzickych Umení v Brne, Brno

4. Amsterdamse Hogeschool voor de Kunsten

Place: Utrecht, Amsterdam, Prague and Brno

Time: academisch year 1998/1999

Objective: Adapting and expanding the Dutch and Czech curricula

for art management based on Western European and

Eastern European experience and insights.

In line with sub-objective 1, 5, 6, 7 and 8

Description:

International recognition is growing for the fact that art and cultural products are of

increasing interest in social and economic traffic. The expectation is that the economic

market share of "creative products" and the level of "creativity" in regular products will

increase. This development requires anticipation from (international) art education and

appeals to the management skills of the future artist.

In the Netherlands, the HKU and the AHK offer internationally oriented, modular and

practically oriented courses in the respective areas of art management and cultural

operational management. A high demand exists for these courses, both in the Netherlands

and abroad.

Over the last five years, the Centre for Art and Media Management, an HKU expertise centre

for contract activities in the field of art and media management, carried out a number of

projects in Central and Eastern European countries. The knowledge and experience acquired

will be tested in the educational situation in the Czech Republic and then contributed to the

subproject.

The AMU in Prague and the JAMU in Brno are the only institutions in Eastern Europe to offer

courses in this field, with the emphasis on the performing arts. Within the schools there is

extensive expertise on the Eastern European cultural situation in general, and the Czech

situation in particular. In addition, there is more experience than in the Netherlands with

regard to the use of the institution's own lecturers and students in the other education and

quality care processes of the institution itself.

The aim of this subproject is to enrich the Dutch courses with the Czech experiences and

contacts and vice versa. In time, the subproject can contribute to an increase in the

enrolment of fee-paying Eastern European students.

The emphasis in the first year will be on becoming thoroughly acquainted with each other’s

curriculum by means of student and staff exchanges and the organisation of a workshop on

the role of management in international art education.

The emphasis of the student exchange will be on practical, professional practice oriented

activities because these do most justice to the cultural exchange and provide the most

opportunities to benefit from each other’s strengths.

The emphasis of the staff exchange will be on giving guest lectures and content-related

discussions. The needs of the guest institution and, naturally, the strengths of the guest

lecturer will be central to selecting the subject of the guest lecture.

Dutch - Czech Republic structural cooperation for higher professional art education/page 16

The workshop will be devoted to the role that art management can and should fulfil in art

education. The intention is to exchange experience, knowledge and views, whereby the

experiences of the staff and student exchanges play a key role. The results will be made

available through the website (see Subproject 3). The future substantive cooperation will be

discussed following this more analytically oriented part of the workshop. This should lead to

concrete agreements on the joint provision of (possibly modified) modules. The joint

provision of other (post-graduate) education to an Eastern European target group will also be

addressed.

1999/2000 and beyond

The emphasis in the two subsequent years will be on the implementation of agreements on

substantive cooperation.

Subproject 5 Animation in Prague

Title subproject: Animation in Prague

Participating institutions: 1. Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht, Utrecht (contractor)

2. Akademie Múzickych Umení v Praze

(3. Amsterdamse Hogeschool voor de Kunsten, Amsterdam)

Place: Utrecht (Hilversum) and Prague

Time: January 1998 and June 1999

Location: Utrecht (Hilversum location)

Objective: The joint development and implementation of

educational modules in the field of animation and new

media.

In line with sub-objective 1, 3, 4 and 8

Description :

The Czech Republic, and Prague in particular, is the European alma mater of (classic) film

animation. The animations from Prague's Trinka studios, with which both the HKU and AMU

maintain contact, are internationally renowned. Utrecht also has a reputation to uphold in

the field of film animation (for example, student films on the VARA-quiz Twee voor Twaalf).

Utrecht's strengths include modern media applications and the conceptual approach to the

product.

Each year, this subproject will include two combined seminars, one in Utrecht and one in

Prague. A seminar is a student project which lasts for approximately 2 months, in which one

lecturer and four students from each institution work together on a single product. The

group is physically together at one of the locations for one to two weeks. The rest of the

time, communication takes place by means of email and the Internet (through the website,

see Subproject 3), a form of distance learning.

In the first year, the seminars will be projects mutually recognised for credits by both

institutions. The intention is to develop and describe this educational model to such an

extent within three years that both partners include it as a regular educational module in the

curriculum. This module will include specific attention to cooperation with companies such

as the Trinka studios to promote the connection to the (international) labour market and

possibly create a market for the student products.

Research will be carried out after the first year to determine whether the NFTA, part of the

AHK, can join in this initiative.

Content of seminars in the first year

In 1998/1999, an interactive storyboard will be worked on, with the content-related theme

derived from a theatre production. This will include working on scenic image sequences, both

in Hilversum and in Prague. The medium is the web. Collages of images, texts, animations,

etc.

The first seminar will include hands-on training (2D and 3D animations/VRML, quick-time films

on websites) so that the technique can be mastered and a story in images can be built up.

The contact of the first seminar - possibly in parallel with the theatre production - will work on

certain realistic scene images (dioramas), developing light designs and certain stage settings.

The two design groups will be trained to interact.

Content of seminars in 1999/2000 and beyond:

The second year will provide an integration of image structure in combination with theatre

designs, stage settings, etc. The website can then also be used by theatre groups with up-

to-date information, diaries, chats, etc.

Dutch - Czech Republic structural cooperation for higher professional art education/page 18

Further expansion of the site will focus on the addition of sound, dialogues in the various

languages, audio and visual translations, music and sound, etc.

The theme of the website will be updated in the third year with new additions, associations,

paraphrases. The material then added will be culled from mass culture and will be associated

with an assignment. Training will take place in the field of communication on differences in

cultural intuition.

The objective is to create a usable and versatile means, with an appealing use of images, text,

sound and music as a strategic tool for the project that can be used by all participants. A

culturally layered means of communication to have during the course of the project in which

image makers respond to theatrical data.

Subproject 6 Museology curriculum

development

Title subproject: Curriculum development Museology

Participating institutions: 1. Amsterdamse Hogeschool voor de Kunsten

2. Univerzita Masarykova, Brno

Place: Amsterdam and Brno

Time: academic year 1998/1999

Objective: The joint development of a Museology module.

In line with sub-objective 1, 5, 6, 7 and 8

Description:

Since the upheaval in 1989, the museums of the Czech Republic have been in a process of

transformation. Not a single aspect of museum operations has escaped a fundamental

reconsideration. The Museum Studies course at Masaryk University and the Museum

Course at the Reinwardt Academie, part of the AHK, have been working together incidentally

for some time. The fundamental transformation process is of great interest to the Reinwardt

Academie from an educational standpoint, and the Reinwardt Academie's (Western oriented)

expertise is of interest to Masaryk University. The intention is to combine the two strengths

to jointly develop the Museology module.

The emphasis of the first year will be on becoming thoroughly acquainted with each other’s

curriculum by means of staff exchange and joint participation in a Museology Summer

School.

The emphasis of the staff exchange will be on giving guest lectures and content-related

discussions. The needs of the guest institution and, naturally, the strengths of the guest

lecturer will be central to selecting the subject of the guest lecture.

The Summer School will be devoted to the role that museology education should fulfil in the

situation in Central and Eastern Europe in general, and in the Czech Republic in particular.

The intention is that experiences, knowledge and views are exchanged, with experiences

acquired through the staff and student exchanges playing a key role. The results will be made

available through the website (see Subproject 3). The future substantive cooperation will be

discussed following this more analytically oriented part of the workshop. This should lead to

concrete agreements on the content of the new module to be developed.

1999/2000 and beyond

The emphasis of the two subsequent years will be on implementation of the module in

regular education and the associated student exchange.

Subproject 7 Ensemble in Prague

Title subproject: Ensemble in Prague

Participating institutions: 1. Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht, Utrecht

2. Akademie Múzickych Umení v Praze

3. Amsterdamse Hogeschool voor de Kunsten

Place: Utrecht and Prague

Time: January 1998 and June 1999

Objective: The development of a clearly described course

component for playing together in an ensemble in

general and chamber music (a specific form of playing

together in an ensemble) in particular.

In line with sub-objective 1, 5, 6 and 8

Description:

In comparison with the Czech Republic, the Netherlands has a much less developed tradition

of chamber music: top-level Dutch chamber music ensembles are rare and often consist of

foreign musicians. In comparison: the Music Academy in Prague has 12 chamber music

ensembles, which play at top international level and have been educated within the strong

chamber music tradition of the Prague Music Academy.

There is a direct relationship between the lack of Dutch chamber music ensembles and the

less developed tradition in the education of chamber music at Dutch conservatoires. The

fact that institutions for higher professional music education are assessed on the extent of

activities in the field of chamber music also comes into play. The role that demonstrable

ensemble activities play for aspiring foreign music students in selecting an institution

should not be underestimated. Thus, stimulation of an ensemble culture increases the

appeal of higher professional music education in the Netherlands for foreign students

(increasingly self-financed). The Dutch conservatoires wish to use this subproject to profit

from the know-how present in the Czech chamber music tradition.

Chamber music is an essential part of the course of an instrumental music student,

particularly in the subjects piano and stringed instruments. In chamber music, students

learn how to deal with such matters as playing together, listening to others, intonation,

articulation and phrasing; each of which are of the utmost importance in every instrumental

music student's course. Practical experience is also gained: the student must be able to

cooperate intensively in chamber music ensembles with colleagues, which is something

he/she must continue to do throughout his/her professional life. In this way, the project

specifically increases the quality of later performances by the students.

Practising chamber music also gives the student the opportunity to become acquainted with

a unique and rich part of Western classical music culture.

The first year

As throughout the entire project, curriculum development will play a key role in 1998/1999.

Student exchanges, staff mobility and guest lecturers will be grouped around this.

Student exchanges: Prague lecturers, with an international reputation in this field of study,

will give students short, extremely intensive courses in small ensembles of no more than 6

people.

Staff trips: Dutch lecturers will be given the task to research teaching methods for chamber

music and their incorporation in the existing curricula of a number of specific fields of study

(stringed instruments and piano). Czech lecturers will act as guest lecturers and form an

important part of this project: their visits to the Netherlands will be an important impulse to

chamber music culture at the conservatoires. Guest lecturers will also be closely involved in

curriculum development.

Dutch - Czech Republic structural cooperation for higher professional art education/page 21

1999/2000 and beyond:

Curriculum development is a matter of years. Activities will take place in a comparable way,

with possible modifications per field of study. Gradually, the new course component must

be interpreted more explicitly, and finally, must be implemented definitively in the regular

curriculum in the third year. Whether to invite structural lecturers of each other’s courses to

take a seat on the Board of Examiners as external experts will be considered.

Subproject 8 Dutch - Czech student concerts

Title subproject: Dutch-Czech student concerts

Participating institutions: 1. Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht, Utrecht

2. Akademie Múzickych Umení v Praze

3. Janáckovy Akademie Múzickych Umení v Brne, Brno

4. Amsterdamse Hogeschool voor de Kunsten

Place: Utrecht, Amsterdam, Prague and Brno

Time: 1st half of 1999

Objective: The preparation and execution of several Dutch - Czech

student concerts and embedding this activity in the

curriculum

In line with sub-objective 6, 7 and 8

Chamber music is an essential part of the education of an instrumental music student,

particularly in the subjects piano and the stringed instruments. Students learn to work with

aspects of chamber music such as playing together, listening to others, intonation,

articulation and phrasing; each of which are of the utmost importance in the course of every

instrumental music student. Practical experience is also gained: the student must be able to

cooperate intensively in chamber music ensembles with colleagues, which is something

he/she must continue to do throughout his/her professional life.

In comparison with the Czech Republic, the Netherlands has a much less developed tradition

in chamber music: top-level Dutch chamber music ensembles are rare and consist of foreign

musicians. There is a direct relationship between the lack of Dutch chamber music

ensembles and the less developed tradition in the education of chamber music at Dutch

conservatoires.

On the other hand, the Czech Republic has a long and rich tradition in the field of playing in

ensembles. To illustrate: the Music Academy in Prague has 12 chamber music ensembles, all

of which play at top international level and have been educated within the institution's

strong chamber music tradition. The Dutch conservatoires wish to use this subproject to

profit from the know-how in the Czech chamber music tradition and simultaneously let

students become acquainted with international performance in a pedagogical and artistically

sound manner.

Description of subproject

The intention is to organise two concerts, one in the Netherlands and one in the Czech

Republic. These concerts will be given by 2 student ensembles, one from the Netherlands

and one from the Czech Republic. This will involve two string quartets (string quartet: 4

musicians, 2 violins, 1 viola and 1 violoncello). Both ensembles will practice and perform

compositions from the country visited: the Dutch ensemble performing a Czech composition

and the Czech ensemble performing a Dutch one, so that the cultural exchange aspect is

expressed to the fullest.

In addition, both string quartets will be combined to form one ensemble, an octet (8

musicians), in the second part of the concert programme.

The joint performance of this composition will raise this project to a higher level. It is our

experience that "normal" exchange concerts, in which groups of students visit an affiliated

conservatoire where they perform a concert, are sometimes a somewhat superficial form of

internationalisation. Thanks to the programming of the above-mentioned octet, the students

are given a real opportunity to work together and obtain direct knowledge on differences in

playing style, musical approaches and the level in general. Students can then compare their

own performance and test it against that of the visiting students: this frequently has a

positive effect on their level of play. This aspect will significantly increase the pedagogical

Dutch - Czech Republic structural cooperation for higher professional art education/page 23

level of the project. It has also been our experience that when music students are given the

opportunity to work together, the exchange of both musical and cultural experiences is much

more intense.

The concert programme will be established in mutual consultation. All compositions will be

practised by the students under the supervision of two lecturers, one from the Netherlands

and one from the Czech Republic. Both lecturers will be specialised in the field of study of

chamber music. The Dutch ensemble will be given lessons by a Czech lecturer, and the Czech

ensemble by a Dutch lecturer, so that students can get in touch with as many new musical

approaches and views as possible. The joint ensemble (the octet) will also be taught by both

lecturers.

While in Utrecht and Amsterdam, the Czech students will also have the opportunity to take

individual lessons from lecturers from the Faculty of Music.

Finally, a joint performance offers good opportunities for activities which can provide

impressions of educational and cultural relationships between the Netherlands and the

Czech Republic in general and the Dutch - Czech cooperative programme for art education in

particular.

1999/2000 and beyond:

Depending on the experience, the concerts will also be held the following year and included

as a regular part of the curriculum in the form of an educational module.

Subproject 9 Puppetry curriculum

development

Title subproject: Puppetry curriculum development

Participating institutions: 1. Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht,

afstudeerrichting Figurentheater

2. Akademie Múzickych Umení v Praze,

Department Alternative and Puppet Theatre

Place: Utrecht, Prague

Time: academic year 1998/1999, total duration 3 years

Objective: To provide a stimulus for setting up a specific educational

route for puppetry in a professional course in the

Netherlands, using the specific characteristics and

experiences of the Prague puppetry. Thanks to the exchange

of lecturers and students, specific knowledge is conveyed

and raised to a higher level, resulting in a module that is

applicable in Dutch theatre education, in Utrecht initially and

possibly in other theatre courses in the Netherlands in the

future. This will take place by means of an international theatre

workshop for puppet, visual and object theatre, as insisted

upon by professional practitioners (see Report "Ateliers op

Handen" (Studios on Hands) by Drs. J. J. Bollebakker,

presented to the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science

in 1995.)

In line with sub-objective 1, 5, 7 and 8

Description:

The 'Department of Alternative and Puppet Theatre' in Prague offers courses based on a

broad perspective of theatre studies. The old pedagogical tradition of puppet theatre

education is followed on the one hand, while on the other hand, new movement techniques

from the avant-garde theatre and a move towards 'open theatre' are being developed in

Prague. Thus, this combination not only offers training in general theatre techniques, but

also stimulates the development of artistic forms of expression by means of objects. The

programme emphasises illusion, non-traditional stage settings, precision of style and the

opportunity to develop performances.

This professional course for the puppet theatre in Prague was established after the war and

was the first of its kind in Europe. In setting up its puppetry curriculum, Utrecht can benefit

from the expertise acquired in Prague in the last decades.

The 'Department of Alternative and Puppet Theatre' consists of three sections: a theoretical

section, a creative/artistic section and a performance section. The head of the department is

theatre maker Josef Krofta and the senior lecturer is Markéta Schartová. Lecturers from

Utrecht and Amsterdam met them and their colleagues during international theatre festivals

in Europe. The possibility of using the Prague expertise to develop new educational modules

in Utrecht has already been discussed several times. This project would be the start.

Dutch - Czech Republic structural cooperation for higher professional art education/page 25

The following educational modules will be developed collectively in 1998/1999:

- making and performing with dolls and objects

- making and performing with masks

- a laboratory for studying movement in relation to scenography (Lecoq approach)

- alternative theatre scenography

In order to deepen curriculum development for the puppetry course for both of the

institutions involved, a three-week workshop will be held in Utrecht. Lecturers from Prague

and Utrecht will participate in this workshop. Josef Krofta or Markéta Schartová will be

invited as keynote speaker. The results of this gathering will be used for the development of

a puppetry module and agreements on mutual recognition.

1999/2000 and beyond

The three-week workshop will be used as part of the basis for laying out the development of

a modular puppetry route. This educational route will be further refined in 1999/2000 by

applying the modules in the courses of both of the participating higher educational

institutions. Whether to include lecturers from each other’s courses in the assessment

commission or perhaps the Board of Examiners will also be considered. Lecturers from

Prague and Utrecht will study the relationship between puppetry and film animation in a

second three-week workshop.

Sustainability:

In view of the fact that the project will lead to the development of puppetry modules for

both of the higher educational institutions involved, as a result of which these modules will

become a fixed part of the course curriculum, the project will be included in the regular budget

for the course in question.

2. Amsterdamse Hogeschool voor de Kunsten,

Mime School

3. Akademie Múzickych Umení v Praze,

Department of non-verbal acting

Place: Amsterdam

Time: January 1999, total duration 2 years

Objective: The development of a mime comedy educational

module and a non-verbal theatre and animation module

for the courses in Utrecht and Amsterdam, which

involves a content-related addition and deepening of

the current courses, by co-production in this field.

In line with sub-objective 1, 5, 7 and 8

Background:

The 'Department of Non-Verbal Acting' is the newest pedagogical and artistic centre within

the HAMU in Prague. Although it was established in 1992, the specialism existed earlier.

Initially, it was one of the subjects within the dance course and became a separate course

after 1980. Until then, it was primarily concerned with classical mime, the founder and Senior

Lecturer being the famous Czech mime lecturer, Ladislav Fialka. His work was taken over by

Ctibor Turba, who introduced a broader concept of non-verbal theatre and the comic genre.

The techniques of mime and expression through movement are studied during the course,

and because there are few performances in this field, it is primarily dedicated to developing

original creative works.

The Mime Course in Amsterdam is strongly influenced by the 'mime corporel' tradition of

Etienne Decroux, while movement education of the Utrecht School of Acting is inspired by

the actor training of the French theatre educator Jacques Lecoq. With a view to a broad and

internationally oriented usefulness in professional practice, it is important from the

perspective of the three above-mentioned approaches to realise a practical exchange in the

form of co-productions and the development of joint educational modules.

Description:

Establishment of a joint co-production on mime comedy, to be held in January 1999 in

Amsterdam. Lecturers of the three courses involved will each contribute their own orientation

or approach: namely, the Decroux approach for Amsterdam, the Leqoc approach for Utrecht

and the Czech tradition of movement theatre for Prague. Further detailing of this data will

lead to a module on mime comedy. Ctibor Turba will be invited as keynote speaker.

1999/2000 and beyond

A second module will be developed in 1999/2000 on the relationship between non-verbal

acting and animation, in combination with a view towards expanding the future professional

practice. This workshop will take place in January 2000 in Utrecht

Sustainability

In view of the fact that the project will lead to the development of modules in the field of

mime comedy and 'the relationship between non-verbal acting and film animation', as a result

Dutch - Czech Republic structural cooperation for higher professional art education/page 27

of which these modules will become a fixed part of the course curriculum, the project will be

included in the regular budget for the course in question.

6. Janáckova Akademie Múzickych Umení v Brne,

afdeling scenografie

Place: Utrecht (Hilversum)

Time: academic year 1998/1999, total duration 2 year

Objective: The curriculum development of scenographics, based

on the principles of distance learning with the starting

point being the Quadrennial in Prague.

In line with sub-objective 1, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8

Background:

The Quadrennial will take place in June 1999 in Prague. This only world exhibition in the field

of theatre design and technical theatre, will be an important meeting place for both the

professional world and education. The student part of the Quadrennial will be organised and

supervised by the education commission of the OISTAT (Organisation International des

Scénographes Technicien et Architects du Théâtre). Previously, the OISTAT had its seat in

Prague, however, recently the Secretariat was moved to Amsterdam and works in close

cooperation with the AHK.

The Amsterdam and Utrecht theatre design courses wish to make a joint presentation at the

event with two other Dutch theatre design courses (Maastricht and Groningen) on the theme

of the exhibition 'the theatre maker as designer'. Dutch theatre design education will position

itself at a world exhibition in this way, with a direct relationship being made between the

relationship 'course - student - and professional practice'. Students from the Art

Management course at the AHK will make a management contribution.

In addition to the activities of the Quadrennial, a group will be formed consisting of students

and lecturers from the above-mentioned educational institutions who will work on the

development of a new curriculum for 'Scenographics'.

Theatre Design students and lecturers will use distance learning to interactively discuss and

comment on each other’s work in a reservoir of knowledge specifically designed for this

purpose on the project's web-page (see subproject 3). This reservoir of knowledge is

accessible to students and lecturers of the Theatre Design courses in question in the

Netherlands and the Czech Republic.

Description:

Before the start of the development of the ‘Scenographics’ educational module,

Scenography and Theatre Design lecturers will meet at the Faculty of Art, Media & Technology

of the HKU in Hilversum. In a three-week workshop, they will explore the limits of the

technology together with Interaction Design and Image and Media Technology students. This

involves matters such as the software needed to get a design for Theatre Design on the

web, lines of communication to agree (who responds when and to what), essentially how

interactive the education can become. An initial trial route will be determined. The workshop

Dutch - Czech Republic structural cooperation for higher professional art education/page 30

includes practical training for the lecturers and students involved. Agreements will be made

on the method of assessment and recognition of each other’s mutual curriculum.

1999/2000 and beyond

During a three-week workshop, the same group that participates in 1999 will participate in a

discussion on their experiences. The possibilities and impossibilities of interactive

communication on an artistic product via the web will be addressed. In addition to practical

training, in which the technical aspects of interactive education will be refined, part of the

workshop will be devoted to establishing procedures, embedding the acquired experience in

an educational module and making a Scenographics module which, as of 2000, will be a

permanent part of the Scenography/Theatre Design course of all the higher learning

institutions involved. Agreements on recognition will have been implemented. Whether to

include lecturers from each other’s courses as external experts in the assessment committee

or perhaps the Board of Examiners will also be considered.

Sustainability

After working on the practical and theoretical implementation of the Scenographics module

for two years, the educational institutions involved will continue to work on viewing and

discussing each other’s work by means of email and the web. The Utrecht students all have

access to computers with Internet connections. In Prague and Brno this is still under

development, but will take on the same form in due course.

In line with sub-objective 2, 5, 7 and 8

The International Theatre School Festival (ITs) in Amsterdam is an annual event of the

Stichting Theaterschool Bedrijf in cooperation with the AHK. Besides foreign theatre

courses, all four Dutch theatre schools will participate in the festival. The intention is to let

this festival provide broad-based support for Dutch theatre education.

At the International Festival of Theatre Schools in Brno, Dutch theatre courses can become

acquainted and make contacts with many other theatre schools from Central and Eastern

Europe. Besides Brno, Prague, Amsterdam and Utrecht, this year's (February 1998)

participants included theatre schools from Russia, Poland, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Belgium and

Great Britain.

Description

a. Participation by four theatre schools in festivals, organised by Brno in February 1999 and

by the AHK in Amsterdam in June 1999. By means of student performances, both lecturers

and students of the various educational institutions can exchange knowledge and

experiences on the approach of theatre education in Eastern, Central and Western Europe.

b. an inventoried study into the criteria for artistic and educational quality for the

assessment of theatre performances representing the various schools in the European

countries. The report resulting from this will be revised and discussed further by means of

Email communication and discussion on the web (see Subproject 3).

Subproject 14 Theatre and Anthropology

Title subproject: Theatre and Antropology

Participating institutions: 1. Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht

2. Amsterdamse Hogeschool voor de Kunsten

3. Akademie Múzickych Umení v Praze

4. Janáckova Akademie Múzickych Umení v Brne

Place: Brno

Time: total duration 2 years

Objective: To make preparations for participation of Dutch

Theatre Education during the international conference

“Theatre and Anthropology" in Brno.

In line with sub-objective 7 and 8

Background:

Since 1995, the Faculty of Theatre in Brno has organised a biennial international symposium

on "theatre and anthropology" in cooperation with the Centre for Experimental Theatre. The

seminar brings together professionals from all over the world, not only during meetings,

discussions and lectures, but also during the demonstrations and performances that take

place during the symposium. The combination of activities attracts experts from the field of

anthropology, who come together to discuss the development of theories and practice. The

first symposium in 1995 was led by Richard Schechner.

The second symposium took place in December 1997, and was organised and led by

Professor Nicola Savarese. The next symposium will take place in 1999. The official languages

of the symposium are English and Czech. The lectures and discussions will be translated

simultaneously from Czech to English and vice versa. The organisation will ensure that the

minutes of the meetings, discussions and lectures are combined in a publication.

A unique feature of these gatherings is the informal atmosphere in which lecturers, students

and speakers come together to exchange ideas on the controversial relationship between

theatre and anthropology. The reason for this is the division between proponents of the

research carried out by theatre maker Eugenio Barba with regard to a comparable study into

acting techniques from an anthropological perspective and anthropologists who study the

role of the performing arts as an expression of living culture in a social context. A Centre for

Intercultural Studies was set up within the Interfaculty of the HKU to focus attention on

the intercultural dimension of the arts. The Utrecht Stichting Passepartout, in cooperation

with the HKU, organised a four-day symposium on Eugenio Barba in September 1997.

Description

The intention is to organise a conference of the International School for Theatre and

Anthropology (ISTA) in the spring of 2001 in the Netherlands, to be led by Eugenio Barba,

with representatives from Dutch theatre education being joined by participants from all over

the world. Besides Stichting Passepartout and the HKU, other theatre schools and the

Netherlands Theatre Institute will be involved in the organisation of the conference. In order

to prepare for this event, it is important to attune matters of content at the next Theatre

and Anthropology symposium in 1999. The Dutch contributed to the symposia of both

1995 and 1997 in the form of lectures.

The HKU conceived the plan to contribute to the 1999 symposium by means of two lectures

in addition to a production of the International Course Theatre and Education. Preparations

for this will take place in the academic year.

development

Title subproject: Scenography curriculum development

Participating institutions: 1. Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht

2. Akademie Múzickych Umení v Praze

Place: Prague and Utrecht

Time: total duration 3 years

Objective: Harmonisation of the graduate and post-graduate

curricula for Scenography in order to guarantee the

content-related and financial continuity of the course

In line with sub-objective 1, 5 and 7

Description:

The HKU and the AMU have worked together for three years in the field of theatre design.

The cooperation has brought about several exchanges of students and staff and a modest

start to the enrolment of fee-paying Czech students in the Utrecht masters course. The

intention of this subproject is to improve the harmonisation of the mutual curricula, to

create possibilities such as the joint provision of parts of each other's courses. The

envisioned effect of these modifications is a more international, attractive and substantively

improved selection of study programmes that is more comparable and is recognised

mutually. This can increase the enrolment of foreign fee-paying students, contributing to the

financial independence and substantive continuity of the course.

Experiments with participation of each other's students in modified parts of the curriculum

will take place in 1998/1999. Lecturers will also experience part of each other's courses as

guest lecturers and may possibly be invited to take part in each other's Board of Examiners

as experts.

1999/2000 and beyond

In 1999/2000, the experiments will be evaluated and the structural implementation of the

adaptations will start. The current estimation is that this process will continue into

2000/2001.

V Finances

This chapter includes a total budget for the year 1998/1999 of the project. Further detailing

of the entire budget per cost type per subproject can be found in the description of the

subprojects concerned. Furthermore, the points of departure used for the calculation of the

budget figures and several management aspects are dealt with.

Points of departure for the calculation

The following points of departure were used for compiling the budget:

1. The goal has been to gain an overview of all realistic costs with regard to the project.

2. Only those costs have been included, which could immediately and entirely be attributed

to the project

3. Travel expenses CZ - NL and vice versa have been determined at NLG 1000. Based on a

rounded down, weighted average of the cost of flights and train journeys between

Amsterdam and Prague/Brno (on 25 February 1998).

4. Accommodation costs for staff in CZ have been determined at NLG 350 per day on the

basis of a rounded down average of the Daily Subsistence Allowance rates of the United

Nations for Prague and Brno (on 25 February 1998).

5. Accommodation costs for staff in NL determined at NLG 300 per day on the basis of the

Daily Subsistence Allowance rates of the United Nations (dated 25 February 1998).

6. Personnel costs in NL determined at average personnel costs per hour of NLG 75. Figures

have been rounded down.

7. Personnel costs in CZ determined at an average personnel costs per hour of: NLG 50.

8. Coordination costs have been determined at 5% of the project figure (excl. coordination

costs themselves, excl. overhead). Coordination costs are taken to mean Personnel costs

made for the benefit of the management of the entire project.

9. Overhead costs have been determined at 8.5% of the project figure (excl. overhead costs

themselves, incl. coordination costs). Overhead costs are taken to mean all costs which

are difficult to attribute such as communication costs, postage, office supplies, office

space, energy, use of computer facilities, standard secretarial costs, etc. This percentage

is the usual percentage at the HKU and has been approved by the accountant as a

realistic estimate in similar projects.

10. All figures are in Netherlands Guilders.

Administrative organisation, internal auditing and justification

The Utrecht School for the Arts will act as contracting party for the consortium and bear

final responsibility for the adherence to the contractual obligations connected to the

financial contribution of the ministry. The HKU developed an internal "AO-procedure

Internationalisering" (Administrative Organisation Procedure for Internationalisation) a few

years ago for this type of activity and it has been used to the full satisfaction of those

involved, the internal auditing department and the external accountant. The financial

responsibility will be split according to the contractual provisions.

Inleiding

Voor u ligt een ambitieuze aanvraag. Voor het eerst in de geschiedenis is gezamenlijk door

meerdere Nederlandse kunstonderwijsinstellingen gewerkt aan de voorbereiding van een

internationaal project van deze omvang. En die samenwerking verliep goed: de aanvraag telt

maar liefst ruim 40 pagina's en is opgebouwd uit 17 deelprojecten, en ook de

hoofddoelstelling mag er wezen: het verbeteren van de kwaliteit en internationale positie van

het Nederlands kunstonderwijs door het realiseren van een structurele samenwerking met

Tsjechië.

Voor u ligt ook een realistische aanvraag. Zo bouwen alle initiatieven uit de aanvraag voort op

reeds bestaande samenwerkingen en contacten. En naast het geven van inhoudelijke

motiveringen, schenkt het plan ook veel aandacht aan de uitvoerbaarheid van de

voornemens. U komt bij het lezen van deze aanvraag heel wat teksten over organisatie en

beheer, concrete doelstellingen, planningen en gedetailleerde begrotingen tegen. Hiervoor

hebben wij niet gekozen omdat wij u aan het lezen wilde zetten, maar wel om goed beslagen

ten ijs te komen mocht onze aanvraag gehonoreerd worden.

En tenslotte ligt voor u een goede aanvraag. Er zijn legio mogelijkheden voor het Nederlands

kunstonderwijs om haar kwaliteit en internationale positie via structurele samenwerking met

Tsjechië te verbeteren. Deze mogelijkheden zijn geïnventariseerd, geanalyseerd en in onderling

samenhangende deelprojecten ondergebracht. Het is deze samenhang tussen de

deelprojecten die de meerwaarde aan het project geeft. Een meerwaarde die alleen kon worden

bereikt dankzij de vorming van het consortium.

We hopen deze meerwaarde in de praktijk te kunnen brengen.

II Toelichting consortium

Waarom dit consortium?

Gezien de doelstelling van het project (zie hoofdstuk III) is gekozen voor een breed maar

monosectoraal samenwerkingsverband. Bij de selectie van de kernleden van het consortium

is getoetst op de volgende criteria: representativiteit nationaal kunstvakonderwijs

(kwantitatief en kwalitatief), bestaande onderwijskundige relaties Nederland - Tsjechië, ervaring

met internationale samenwerking, ervaring met moderne media, ervaring met

kunstmanagement, aansluiting van voorgenomen project bij institutioneel beleid en uiteraard

de meerwaarde die de instelling aan het samenwerkingsverband kan leveren. Alle kernleden

scoren hoog op deze criteria, zoals uit onderstaande introductie zal blijken.

Door de samenwerking tussen de HKU en de AHK kan het merendeel van de bestaande

Nederlands - Tsjechische kunstonderwijsinitiatieven in het project worden opgenomen en

wordt in principe 40 % van alle kunstvakstudenten in Nederland bereikt.

Het ideaal is om alle kunstonderwijsinstellingen en dus ook alle kunststudenten in Nederland

en Tsjechië te bereiken. Het voornemen is dan ook om het aantal partners binnen het

consortium de komende jaren uit te breiden. Vooruitlopend hierop nemen een zestal

instellingen, vier uit Nederland en twee uit Tsjechië, in het eerste jaar al deel aan enkele

deelprojecten van het consortium. De verwachting is dat het project aan het einde van het

eerste jaar door de kernleden voldoende op gang is gebracht om het consortium in het

tweede jaar te kunnen uitbreiden.

Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht (HKU)

De Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht behoort samen met de Amsterdamse Hogeschool

voor de Kunsten tot de grootste kunstvakonderwijsinstellingen in Nederland. Het

onderwijsaanbod is breed en omvat ongeveer dertig opleidingen van het niveau van de

vooropleiding tot PhD-niveau. Met de AMU in Praag wordt vanaf 1993 structureel

samengewerkt op het gebied van muziek, theatervormgeving (gezamenlijk Master of Arts

opleiding) en audiovisuele media. Het TEMPUS-programma van de Europese Commissie en het

STIR-programma van de Nederlandse overheid heeft deze samenwerking ondersteund (zie

bijlage). Met de JAMU in Brno bestaat, mede dankzij de stedenband tussen Utrecht en Brno,

al enige jaren samenwerking binnen de discipline theater, overigens gezamenlijk met de AHK.

De HKU heeft jarenlang een consequent internationaliseringsbeleid gevoerd. De ruime ervaring

met internationale activiteiten (waaronder een aantal projecten op het gebied van

internationale erkenning van kunstonderwijs) hebben geleid tot een sterke, centraal gestuurde

infrastructuur voor het beheer van internationale projecten, hetgeen de instelling geschikt

maakt als penvoerder. Het Bureau Twijnstra & Gudde coördineert de invoering van een breed

gedragen kwaliteitszorgsysteem binnen de HKU in het kader van de projecten Kwaliteit &

Studeerbaarheid. De hierbij opgedane ervaring over "kwaliteitszorgmanagement" zal worden

ingezet bij het project. Vorig jaar is ECTS als systeem van internationale erkenning integraal

ingevoerd binnen de instelling. Door de deelname van de Faculteit Kunst, Media en

Technologie kan de daar aanwezige expertise op het gebied van nieuwe media ten bate komen

aan het project. Hetzelfde geldt voor expertise van het centrum voor Kunst & Media

Management.

Amsterdamse Hogeschool voor de Kunsten (AHK)

De Amsterdamse Hogeschool voor de Kunsten is de andere van de twee grootste instellingen

op het gebied van hoger kunstvakonderwijs in Nederland. Net zoals bij de HKU kent de AHK

een breed opleidingsaanbod; de opleidingen op het gebied van Muziek, Theater en Culturele

Bedrijfsvoering van de AHK nemen met hun collega-opleidingen van de HKU deel aan dit

consortium, maar daarnaast omvat het consortium een bijdrage vanuit de AHK op een tweetal

in Nederland unieke opleidingsgebieden, namelijk museologie en theatertechniek. Er hebben in

het recente verleden samenwerkingsprojecten plaatsgevonden tussen de AHK en de AMU

Praag op het gebied van film, dans en mime. Er zijn oriënterende besprekingen geweest

tussen het Conservatorium van de AHK en van Praag over samenwerking op het gebied van

Structurele Samenwerking hoger kunstvakonderwijs Nederland - Tsjechië, pagina 7

de opleiding Oude Muziek. Met de JAMU in Brno vindt al enige jaren een intensieve

uitwisseling plaats binnen de theaterschool festivals over en weer, waar ook Utrecht bij

betrokken is. In juni 1995 is door de opleidingen Theater en Culturele Bedrijfsvoering in

samenwerking met de HKU en de European League of Institutes of Arts Education (ELIA) het

internationale seminar The Management of International Projects in Arts Education

georganiseerd, waarin vanuit Tsjechië een aanzienlijke bijdrage werd geleverd. De Reinwardt

Academie van de AHK wisselt al enige jaren docenten uit met de afdeling museologie van de

Masaryk University. De Interfaculteit Culturele Bedrijfsvoering heeft een aantal stagiaires

ingezet bij de voorbereiding van de vorige Quadriennale in Praag op het gebied van de

theatervormgeving.

De AHK heeft internationalisering als een van de belangrijkste speerpunten van beleid

geformuleerd. De internationale oriëntatie van de AHK moge blijken uit het grote aantal

buitenlandse studenten (30 % van de reguliere studenten is van buitenlandse afkomst,

waarvan een aanzienlijk deel uit Oost-Europa, waaronder Tsjechië).

De AHK heeft ruime ervaring met internationale projecten en geniet internationaal grote

bekendheid.

Momenteel is de AHK onder meer actief bezig met de invoering van het Europeaan Credit

Transfer Systeem en met een internationaal bench-marking project in het kader van de

projecten Kwaliteit & Studeerbaarheid.

Academy of Performing Arts Prague (AMU)

De Academy of Performing Arts Prague is de grootste instelling op het gebied van hoger

kunstvakonderwijs in Tsjechië, met een breed opleidingsaanbod op het gebied van muziek,

theater en film. De samenwerking met Nederlandse instellingen beperken zich in hoofdzaak

tot de hierboven aangehaalde samenwerkingsactiviteiten met de HKU en AHK. De aard en

inhoud van het onderwijs wijkt door culturele en historische redenen op verschillende punten

af van die van de Nederlandse instellingen. Met name op die gebieden waar de AMU

voortbouwt op culturele Tsjechische tradities en op het gebied van (ambachtelijke) hantering

van het kunstzinnig instrumentarium (voorbeeld: Tsjechische animatiefilms, poppentheater,

mime en ensemblemuziek) valt er voor de Nederlandse instellingen specifiek voordeel te halen

uit de samenwerking. De AMU stelt zich open voor externe invloeden en is internationaal erg

actief, zeker als hierbij de historische en economische positie in beschouwing wordt

genomen.

Janácek Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts Brno (JAMU)

De Janácek Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts Brno is de op één na grootste instelling op

het gebied van hoger kunstvakonderwijs in Tsjechië binnen de discipline podiumkunsten.

Deze instelling kan worden beschouwd als moeder van het samenwerkingsproject, aangezien

tijdens een door de JAMU georganiseerd internationaal festival afgevaardigden van alle nu

deelnemende partners samenwerkten en uiteindelijk tot de eerste plannen voor nadere

structurele samenwerking zijn gekomen. De JAMU heeft, met name op het gebied van

intercultureel theater veel internationale initiatieven ontplooid, die erg door hun kwaliteit

worden gewaardeerd. Deze bestaande internationale ervaring (en hun internationale leidende

rol hierin) is voor de Nederlandse instellingen een van de specifieke interessante aspecten

van de JAMU, naast de meer algemene bij de AMU genoemde aspecten.

Structurele Samenwerking hoger kunstvakonderwijs Nederland - Tsjechië, pagina 8

III Verantwoording en doelstellingen project

Waarom Tsjechië?

Toen de Russen in 1968 mijn kleine land bezetten, werden al mijn boeken verboden en

verloor ik elke wettelijke mogelijkheid om in mijn levensonderhoud te voorzien.

Oog in oog met de eeuwigheid van de Russische nacht, maakte ik in Praag het

gewelddadige einde mee van de westerse cultuur, zoals die was ontstaan bij de

dageraad van de moderne tijd, gebaseerd op het individu en de rede, op het pluralisme

van denken en op verdraagzaamheid. In een klein westers land maakte ik het einde van

het Westen mee. Dat was het grote afscheid.

Citaten van de Tsjechische auteur Milan Kundera - ondermeer bekend van de roman

De ondraaglijke lichtheid van het bestaan - uit de inleiding op de publicatie van zijn toneelstuk

Jacques en zijn Meester (1981).

Tsjechië heeft zich na 1989 als een van de weinige landen (samen met Hongarije en Polen) uit

Midden- en Oost-Europa in een korte tijd ontwikkeld tot een land dat (opnieuw) economisch

en cultureel aansluiting heeft gevonden bij de West-Europese landen. Veelzeggend is de

selectie van Tsjechië om als eerste te onderhandelen over toetreding tot de Europese Unie.

Hoewel de verschillen met de EU-landen nog groot zijn, en niet onderschat moeten worden,

heeft Tsjechië de potentie een Europese belangrijke medespeler te worden op economisch en

cultureel terrein. Goede economische en culturele betrekkingen zijn dus van toenemend

belang voor Nederland.

Het Nederlands kunstonderwijs kan vanuit haar eigen belangen en motieven een eigen rol

spelen bij deze betrekkingen.

De inhoud en aard van het kunstonderwijs in Nederland en de Tsjechië verschilt op een aantal

punten. Het Nederland kunstonderwijs kan zijn voordeel doen met een aantal sterke punten

uit het Tsjechische kunstonderwijs, zoals bijvoorbeeld de ensemblecultuur op het gebied van

klassieke muziek, de expertise op het gebied van bewegings- en poppentheater en

scenografie, de kennis op het gebied van kunstmanagement in Oost-Europa en de

ambachtelijke technieken op het gebied van filmanimatie, om enkele voorbeelden te noemen.

Veel van deze sterke punten komen voort uit een periode vóór 1968 van sterke artistieke

vernieuwing die destijds ook grote invloed heeft gehad op de kunsten en cultuur in West-

Europa. Sinds de negentiger jaren lijkt Tsjechië weer zijn traditionele rol als Europese

vernieuwer in de kunsten weer op zich te nemen.

Om de samenwerking een structureel karakter te geven moeten strategische instrumenten

worden gehanteerd, zoals de gezamenlijke ontwikkeling en afstemming van curricula en de

wederzijdse erkenning van opleidingen. De Tsjechische instellingen hebben hiermee inmiddels

enige ervaring opgedaan en belangrijker, zijn in erg geïnteresseerd.

Een derde, pragmatisch motief, is het feit dat er inmiddels al een groot aantal contacten

tussen betrokken instellingen bestaat. Dit is een sterke indicatie dat samenwerking in de

praktijk niet op onoverkomelijke culturele, onderwijsinhoudelijke of financiële barrières stuit.

Tot slot hebben Tsjechië en Nederland een aantal feitelijke omstandigheden

gemeenschappelijk zoals het (globale) inwoneraantal, de positie als kleine-talenland, de

acceptatie van Engels als lingua franca in het internationaal onderwijs, en de lange traditie van

en waardering het kunstonderwijs en daarmee de rol die cultuur speelt bij internationale

betrekkingen in het algemeen. Zeker wanneer zaken als "hoger onderwijs als exportproduct"

een rol gaat spelen, hetgeen bij kunstonderwijs niet ondenkbaar is, zal dit een goede basis

zijn voor een eventuele gemeenschappelijke aanpak.

Structurele Samenwerking hoger kunstvakonderwijs Nederland - Tsjechië, pagina 9

Waarom kunstonderwijs?

Het is van belang dat ook het kunstonderwijs als een van de sectoren binnen het Nederlands

hoger beroepsonderwijs een evenredige rol kan spelen in de structurele samenwerking in

internationaal verband. Er liggen zowel inhoudelijke als meer pragmatische motieven ten

grondslag aan de keuze om als sectoraal consortium een aanvraag in te dienen.

Het kunstonderwijs neemt gezien de afwijkende aard van de inhoud en vorm van het

onderwijs een bijzondere positie in. Hierbij speelt de verwevenheid met belangen van de

nationale cultuur in het algemeen overigens ook een rol. Deze bijzondere positie geldt in

Nederland, getuige bijvoorbeeld de diverse specifieke regelingen van het ministerie voor de

kunstonderwijssector, maar even zozeer in de meeste andere landen.

De hoofddoelstelling van het project is de kwaliteit en de internationale positie van het

kunstonderwijs te versterken. Een van de manieren waarop dat in dit project getracht wordt

te doen is aan te sluiten bij en invloed uit te oefenen op Europese standaarden ten aanzien

van kwaliteitszorg binnen de sector. De meest voor de hand liggende wijze om dit type

doelstellingen te bereiken is als nationale sector de krachten te bundelen en zoveel mogelijk

te profiteren van elkaars sterke kanten.

Naast dit pragmatische motief is er een meer inhoudelijk motief om het belang van de

kunsten in de structurele onderwijssamenwerking niet te onderschatten. De verdergaande

samenwerking en integratie van West-, Midden- en Oost-Europese landen gaat gepaard met

ingrijpende culturele veranderingen in de betrekkingen tussen deze landen. De geschiedenis

heeft geleerd dat het terrein van de kunsten (in de brede zin van het woord) een belangrijke

bijdrage kan leveren in dit veranderingsproces, vanwege de communicatieve functie van de

kunstdisciplines. In de culturele ontmoetingen kan de eigen identiteit van de verschillende

landen en instellingen ook goed tot haar recht komen. De kunsten hebben zich altijd al

gekenmerkt door een grenzen-overschrijdend vermogen, in letterlijke en figuurlijke zin. De

nieuwe media kunnen dit proces in informatie en communicatie nog aanzienlijk bevorderen en

intensiveren.

Tot slot speelt een specifiek maatschappelijk en economisch motief. Internationaal wordt

steeds breder erkend dat kunst- en cultuurproducten een toenemend belang vormen in het

maatschappelijke en economisch verkeer. De verwachting is dat het marktaandeel van

"creatieve producten" en het gehalte "creativiteit" in reguliere producten voorlopig zal blijven

toenemen. Deze ontwikkeling vraagt om anticipatie van het (internationaal) kunstonderwijs en

doet tevens een beroep op aanvullende vaardigheden van de toekomstige kunstenaar. Juist

binnen het kunstonderwijs (in Nederland én in Tsjechië, en in het bijzonder bij de vier

projectpartners) wordt de laatste jaren in snel tempo expertise opgebouwd op dit snijvlak van

kunstonderwijs, economie en management.

Hoofddoelstelling

Het project beoogt de kwaliteit en internationale positie van het Nederlands hoger

kunstonderwijs te versterken door in drie jaar tijd structurele internationale samenwerking met

Tsjechië te realiseren.

Subdoelstellingen

Het project beoogt middels de samenwerking met de Tsjechische partners:

1. de curricula van een aantal opleidingen van de Nederlandse instellingen verder te

ontwikkelen. In enkele gevallen zullen onderwijsmodules gezamenlijk worden ontwikkeld.

2. te komen tot een stelsel van internationale kwaliteitszorg

3. afstandsonderwijs als methode te bevorderen

4. de toepassing nieuwe media in het onderwijs te bevorderen

5. te komen tot een systeem van erkenning van (delen van) elkaars curriculum, bij voorkeur

gebruik makend van het European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).

6. te komen tot een structureel programma van studenten- en docentenuitwisseling

7. te komen tot een structurele uitwisseling van kennis en ervaring

8. een bijdrage te leveren aan de opbouw van nieuwe culturele relaties en bedrijvigheid.

Structurele Samenwerking hoger kunstvakonderwijs Nederland - Tsjechië, pagina 10

IV Inhoudelijke omschrijving

Inleiding

De bedoeling van het project is om binnen een periode van drie jaar een substantiële en

structurele samenwerking tot stand te brengen tussen de hoger kunstonderwijssectoren in

Nederland en Tsjechië, om hiermee een bijdrage te leveren aan de kwaliteit, aantrekkelijkheid en

internationale positie van het Nederlandse hoger kunstonderwijs.

Uit deze doelstelling zijn acht afgeleide subdoelstellingen geformuleerd, die in hoofdstuk III

van deze aanvraag expliciet genoemd worden.

Het project is vanwege zijn ambitie en omvang en om beheersmatige redenen opgesplitst in

een aantal deelprojecten die elk rechtstreeks gerelateerd zijn aan een of meerdere

subdoelstellingen. Bij nadere beschouwing blijkt dat uit de vele deelprojecten twee rode

draden kunnen worden onderscheiden:

1. verbeteringen van kwaliteitszorg naar internationale maatstaven van het Nederlands hoger

kunstonderwijs door activiteiten op het gebied van curriculumontwikkeling en kwaliteitszorg

2. internationale positieverbetering door activiteiten op het gebied van informatie-uitwisseling

en wederzijdse erkenning.

Organisatie en beheer

Er is nadrukkelijk gekozen voor een projectmatige organisatie-aanpak. Alle voordelen van

projectmatig werken zijn van toepassing: bevordering resultaatgericht werken, goede

monitormogelijkheden, fasering, werken in multidisciplinaire teams, duidelijke

verantwoordelijkheidstructuur, relatief eenvoudige financieel beheer en controle en last but

not least aansluiting bij de werkelijkheid van een eindige financiering. Om de nadelen van

projectmatig te ondervangen (afstemming projecten met reguliere activiteiten van de

organisatie, afstemming projecten onderling) wordt een kleine stuurgroep ingesteld met

minimaal een vertegenwoordiger per instelling.

Elk deelproject kent een projectteam, een voorzitter van het projectteam, een te bereiken

resultaat, een termijn waarbinnen dit resultaat bereikt dient te worden en natuurlijk een

budget. De voorzitters rapporteren aan de stuurgroep. De stuurgroep rapporteert aan de

instellingen. Zie hoofdstuk V voor financieel beheer.

Taal

De voertaal binnen het project is om pragmatische redenen Engels. De verantwoordingen naar

het ministerie zal in het Nederlands gebeuren. Omdat niet al het huidige onderwijsmateriaal in

het Engels aanwezig zal zijn, zullen er incidenteel vertalingen moeten worden gemaakt.

Rapportage en verantwoording

De penvoerder zal namens het consortium conform de regeling en eventueel nader overeen te

komen uitvoeringsafspraken inhoudelijke en financiële verantwoording afleggen aan het

ministerie van OCW.

Omschrijving:

De conferentie is een middel om zoveel mogelijk betrokkenen van alle instellingen bij elkaar te

brengen.

Dit dient ten eerste een organisatorisch doel. Middels afwisselend plenaire en

workshopachtige bijeenkomsten zal worden gewerkt aan de organisatorische en inhoudelijk

invulling van de deelprojecten. Ook zullen er afspraken gemaakt moeten worden over de

werking van de stuurgroep. De conferentie zal uiteraard de aanvraag als uitgangspunt nemen,

maar flexibiliteit zal worden betracht in verband met veranderde (financiële) omstandigheden,

actuele ontwikkelingen. De afspraken die tijdens deze conferentie worden gemaakt, worden

vastgelegd in een Nederland-Tsjechië-overzicht, dat als rode draad zal fungeren gedurende de

gehele projectperiode.

De conferentie dient nadrukkelijk ook een rol als motivator. Het bijeenbrengen van alle

betrokkenen, het vanaf het begin werken in teams en vooral het informeel kennismaken met

elkaar zal de motiverende werking moeten hebben die noodzakelijk is voor dit type project. Er

zal daarom naast het "organisatorische" programma veel aandacht zijn voor culturele en

sociale evenementen. Het tijdstip en de plaats is zodanig gekozen dat er samenhang is met

deelproject 11 (Drama educatie voor doven) en de culturele uitwisseling in het kader van de

stedenband Utrecht - Brno.

1999/2000 en verder:

De startconferentie is in principe eenmalig. Wel wordt er naar gestreefd een jaarlijkse

bijeenkomst te organiseren waarbij een groot aantal betrokkenen tegelijkertijd bijeenkomt. Om

4. Amsterdamse Hogeschool voor de Kunsten

Plaats: Utrecht

Tijdstip: tweede helft academisch jaar 1998/1999

Doel: Het opzetten en uitvoeren trainingstraject kwaliteitszorg

binnen kunstonderwijs in internationale context.

Sluit aan bij subdoelstelling (zie pag.10): 2

Beschrijving:

Het ontwikkelen (en instandhouden) van methodes om de kwaliteit van het onderwijs te

waarborgen mag zich zowel in Nederland als in Tsjechië verheugen op een grote belangstelling.

Een belangrijk instrument om de kwaliteit van het onderwijs te meten is de kwaliteit van de

"eindproducten" van de studenten te meten. In het kunstonderwijs is deze "meting"

onvermijdelijk onderhevig aan individuele en cultureel bepaalde subjectiviteit.

In verband met de toenemende behoeft aan internationale vergelijkbaarheid van het

onderwijsaanbod, de noodzaak tot verdergaande internationale wederzijdse erkenning van

onderwijs en internationale afstemming betreffende definities rond studieprestaties is een

inspanning binnen het kunstonderwijs op het gebied van kwaliteitszorg een noodzaak.

Binnen dit deelproject zal een Engelstalige training worden ontwikkeld en uitgevoerd met

kwaliteitszorg als rode draad. De doelgroep van de training zijn leidinggevenden en

beheerspersoneel van de kunstonderwijsinstellingen in Nederland en Tsjechië. Gedacht wordt

aan een groep van ongeveer 10 personen. Onderwerpen die aan bod zullen komen zijn: meting

van resultaten, onderwijsontwikkeling, validering en accreditatieprocessen, de rol van de

manager, de rol van de docent. Er zal specifiek rekening worden gehouden met de Tsjechische

achtergrond van de meeste deelnemers.

De ervaring die de HKU heeft opgedaan tijdens hun interne managementtraining op het gebied

van kwaliteitszorg, gecoördineerd door Twijnstra en Gudde, zal mede worden ingezet bij de

ontwikkeling van de training. Dit geldt ook voor de expertise van de AHK op het gebied van

international benchmarking van aspecten van kunstvakonderwijs in een internationale context

(inclusief Midden en Oost Europa).

Aandacht zal worden besteed aan onderzoek naar de voor het kunstonderwijs in principe

goed bruikbare methode van het wederzijds uitnodigen van internationale docenten in de

examencommissies als extern deskundige.

Het belang voor de Nederlandse instellingen is gelegen in de vergelijking van de situatie in

Tsjechië met die van Nederland, in de nadere aandacht voor en explicitering van kwaliteitszorg

binnen de eigen instelling en tot slot de verdere expertise opbouw op dit punt voor eventuele

toekomstige interne en externe trainingsactiviteiten.

Plaats: nvt

Tijdstip: nvt

Doel: Het verspreiden van informatie van diverse aard ten bate van

het onderwijs zelf (distance learning), ten bate van de

inhoud van de deelprojecten en faciliterend bij het

management van de deelprojecten. Hierbij speelt de

ontwikkeling van een eigen website als infrastructuur een

hoofdrol. De website zou op termijn kunnen uitgroeien tot hét

digitale informatiecentrum betreffende hoger onderwijs

samenwerking tussen Nederland en Tsjechië

Sluit aan bij subdoelstelling (zie pag.10): 3, 4, 7 en 8

Beschrijving:

Informatie speelt een cruciale rol binnen dit project. Om dit belang recht te doen is de

presentatie en verspreiding van informatie ondergebracht als apart deelproject. De bedoeling

is dat op de server van de HKU een eigen website wordt ontwikkeld voor dit project (met de

hulp van het computercentrum en studenten van de Faculteit Kunst, Media & Technologie).

Deze website kent twee typen toepassingen:

1. distance learning (teleleren, afstandsonderwijs): een aantal deelprojecten hebben het

ontwikkelen van methodes voor distance learning opgenomen als doelstelling. Hierbij valt te

denken aan discussiegroepen over elkaars werk tot en met interactief schrijven en ontwerpen.

Ook kunnen digitale kennisreservoirs worden aangelegd op de deelgebieden van de

betreffende opleidingen. De deelprojecten waarin deze toepassing zal worden gebruikt hebben

dit in hun beschrijving opgenomen.

2. projectinformatie: elk deelproject krijgt zijn eigen pagina, waarop het project wordt

gepresenteerd en verslag (tekst, foto's, films) wordt gedaan over de voortgang van het

project. Links naar inhoudelijke sites worden toegevoegd. Ook hier is discussie mogelijk. Ook

kan hier ruimte worden opgenomen voor managementinformatie betreffende het project.

Planning, budgetten, notulen etc.

3. informatie over (onderwijs) in Nederland en Tsjechië: Door de groeiende hoeveelheid

informatie over het project zal er een moment ontstaan dat de aard en doelstelling van de

pagina zal moeten worden aangepast. Door toevoeging van informatie van andere

samenwerkingsprojecten met Tsjechië, algemene informatie over (onderwijs) in Nederland en

Tsjechië en een goede rubricering van externe links kan de website op termijn uitgroeien tot

Structurele Samenwerking hoger kunstvakonderwijs Nederland - Tsjechië, pagina 14

algemeen Nederlands informatiepunt over onderwijssamenwerking tussen Nederland en

Tsjechië in het algemeen.

Daarnaast zal informatie ook op "traditionele" wijze worden verspreid, middels een jaarlijkse

newsletter. Deze newsletter heeft als belangrijkste doelgroep de Nederlandse en Tsjechische

kunststudenten en docenten, inclusief die van de niet in het project participerende

hogescholen.

Deelproject 4 Curriculumontwikkeling

kunstmanagement

Titel deelproject: Curriculumontwikkeling kunstmanagement

Deelnemende instellingen: 1. Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht

2. Akademie Múzickych Umení v Praze

3. Janáckovy Akademie Múzickych Umení v Brne, Brno

4. Amsterdamse Hogeschool voor de Kunsten

Plaats: Utrecht, Amsterdam, Praag en Brno

Tijdstip: gehele academisch jaar 1998/1999

Doel: Het aanpassen en uitbreiden van de Nederlandse en

Tsjechische curricula kunstmanagement vanuit West-Europese

en Oost-Europese ervaringen en inzichten over en weer.

Sluit aan bij subdoelstelling (zie pag.10): 1, 5, 6, 7 en 8

Beschrijving:

Internationaal wordt steeds breder erkend dat kunst en cultuurproducten een toenemend

belang vormen in het maatschappelijke en economisch verkeer. De verwachting is dat het

economisch marktaandeel van "creatieve producten" en het gehalte "creativiteit" in reguliere

producten toe zal nemen. Deze ontwikkeling vraagt om anticipatie van het (internationaal)

kunstonderwijs en doet een beroep op managementvaardigheden van de toekomstige

kunstenaar.

In Nederland bieden de HKU en de AHK internationaal georiënteerde, modulair georganiseerde

en sterk op de praktijk gerichte opleidingen aan op het gebied van kunstmanagement

respectievelijk culturele bedrijfsvoering aan. Er is grote vraag naar deze opleidingen, niet in het

minst uit het buitenland.

Het Centrum voor Kunst en Media Management, een expertisecentrum van de HKU voor

contractactiviteiten op het gebied van kunst en mediamanagement, heeft de afgelopen vijf

jaar een aantal projecten uitgevoerd in Midden en Oost-Europese landen. De hiermee

verworven kennis en ervaring zal worden getoetst met de onderwijskundige situatie in Tsjechië

en vervolgens in het deelproject worden ingebracht.

De AMU in Praag en JAMU in Brno kennen, uitzonderlijk in Oost-Europa, beide ook

opleidingen op dit gebied, waarbij een zwaartepunt ligt bij de podiumkunsten. Binnen de

afdelingen is grote expertise op het gebied van de Oost Europese culturele situatie in het

algemeen en de Tsjechische situatie in het bijzonder. Verder is er meer ervaring dan in

Nederland met het inzetten van eigen docenten en studenten in het overige onderwijs en

kwaliteitszorgtraject van de instelling zelf.

De bedoeling van dit deelproject is dat de Nederlandse opleidingen hun opleidingen verrijken

met de Tsjechische ervaringen en contacten en vice versa. Op termijn kan het deelproject een

bijdrage leveren voor een toename van de instroom van betalende Oost Europese studenten.

Het eerste jaar zal de nadruk komen te liggen op grondige kennismaking van elkaars curriculum

door middel van studenten en stafuitwisseling en het organiseren van een workshop over de

rol van management in het international kunstonderwijs.

Bij de studentenuitwisseling zal de nadruk liggen op praktische, beroepspraktijkgerichte

activiteiten, omdat hier de culturele uitwisseling het best tot zijn recht komt en hier de

mogelijkheden het grootst zijn van elkaars sterke punten te profiteren.

Structurele Samenwerking hoger kunstvakonderwijs Nederland - Tsjechië, pagina 16

Bij de stafuitwisseling zal de nadruk liggen op het geven van gastcolleges en inhoudelijke

besprekingen. Bij de gastcollege zal bij onderwerpskeuze de behoefte van de gastinstelling en

uiteraard de sterktes van de gastdocent centraal staan.

De workshop zal gewijd zijn aan de rol die kunstmanagement kan en zou moeten vervullen

binnen het kunstonderwijs. Het is de bedoeling dat ervaringen, kennis en visies worden

uitgewisseld, waarbij de ervaringen opgedaan bij de staf en studentenuitwisselingen een

belangrijke rol zullen spelen. De resultaten zullen via de website worden verspreid (zie

deelproject 3). Na dit meer op analyse gerichte deel van de workshop zal de toekomstige

inhoudelijke samenwerking worden besproken. Dit moet leiden tot concrete afspraken over

het gezamenlijk aanbieden van (eventueel aangepaste) modules. Ook zal het gezamenlijk

aanbieden overig (post-academisch) onderwijs aan een Oost-Europese doelgroep aan de orde

komen.

1999/2000 en verder

De twee daaropvolgende jaren zal de nadruk komen te liggen op de implementatie van de

afspraken over inhoudelijke samenwerking.

Deelproject 5 Animatie in Praag

Titel deelproject: Animatie in Praag

Deelnemende instellingen: 1. Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht, Utrecht (penvoerder)

2. Akademie Múzickych Umení v Praze

(3. Amsterdamse Hogeschool voor de Kunsten, Amsterdam)

Plaats: Utrecht (locatie Hilversum) en Praag

Tijdstip: Januari 1998 en Juni 1999

Doel: Het gemeenschappelijk ontwikkelen en uitvoeren van

onderwijsmodules op het gebied van animatie en nieuwe

media.

Sluit aan bij subdoelstelling (zie pag.10): 1, 3, 4 en 8

Omschrijving:

Tsjechië en in het bijzonder Praag is de Europese bakermat van de (klassieke) animatiefilm.

Internationaal beroemd zijn de animatiefilms uit de Praagse Trinka studio's, waarmee zowel de

HKU als de AMU contacten heeft. Ook Utrecht heeft een naam hoog te houden op het

gebied van animatiefilms (bijv. studentenfilmpjes VARA-quiz Twee voor Twaalf). De sterke

kanten van Utrecht liggen onder andere in de moderne mediatoepassingen en conceptuele

benadering van het product.

In dit deelproject worden jaarlijks twee gecombineerde seminars gehouden, een in Utrecht en

een in Praag. Een seminar is een ongeveer 2 maanden durend studentenproject waaraan 1

docent en vier studenten van elke instelling samenwerken aan een product. Ongeveer een tot

twee weken is de groep fysiek bij elkaar op een van de locaties, de overige tijd wordt

gecommuniceerd middels e-mail en internet (via eigen website, zie deelproject 3), een vorm van

afstandsonderwijs.

Het eerste jaar zijn de seminars projecten die door beide instellingen wederzijds worden

erkend met studiepunten. De bedoeling is om binnen drie jaar dit onderwijsmodel zo ver te

hebben ontwikkeld en beschreven dat beide partners het als reguliere onderwijsmodule in het

curriculum opnemen. In deze module zal expliciet aandacht zijn voor samenwerking met

bedrijven als Trinka studio's om de aansluiting op de (internationale) arbeidsmarkt te

bevorderen en mogelijk een afzetmarkt voor de studentenproducten te creëren.

Na het eerste jaar wordt onderzocht of de NFTA, onderdeel van de AHK, kan aansluiten bij dit

initiatief.

Inhoud seminars in het eerste jaar

In 1998/1999 wordt gewerkt aan een interactief storyboard, waarbij het inhoudelijke thema

ontleend kan zijn aan een theaterproductie. Er wordt gewerkt aan scenische beeldreeksen,

zowel in Hilversum als in Praag. Het medium is het web. Beeldcollages, teksten, animaties etc.

In het eerste seminar heeft een hands-on training plaats (2D-animaties en 3D-

animaties/VRML, quicktime-filmpjes op websites) zodat de techniek beheerst wordt en het

scenario en beeldverhaal opgebouwd kan worden.

Het contact van het eerste seminar wordt - wellicht parallel aan de theaterproductie - gewerkt

aan bepaalde realistische scene-beelden (kijkdoos) waar lichtontwerp en bepaalde mise en

scènes worden uitgewerkt. De interactie tussen de beide ontwerpgroepen wordt getraind.

Inhoud seminars in 1999/2000 en verder:

Het tweede jaar geeft een integratie te zien van beeldopbouw in combinatie met de

theaterontwerpen en mise en scènes etc. De website kan nu ook gebruikt worden door de

theatergroepen met actuele informatie, dagboeken, chats etc.

Structurele Samenwerking hoger kunstvakonderwijs Nederland - Tsjechië, pagina 18

De verdere uitwerking van de site richt zich op geluidstoevoegingen, dialogen in de

verschillende talen, vertalingen in beeld en geluid, muziek en geluid, etc.

In het derde jaar wordt het thema op de website geactualiseerd" hedendaagse toevoegingen,

associaties, parafrases. Het materiaal dat nu toegevoegd wordt komt uit de massacultuur en

wordt verbonden met een opgegeven opdracht. Een training vindt plaats op het terrein van

communicatie over verschillen in culturele intuïtie.

Doel is een goed inzetbaar en breed middel te creëren waarbij beeld, tekst geluid en muziek op

een aantrekkelijke manier gehanteerd kunnen worden als een strategisch 'tool' van het project

dat door alle deelnemers gehanteerd kan worden. Een cultureel gelaagd communicatiemiddel te

hebben tijdens de looptijd van het project waar beeldmakers reageren op theatrale gegevens.

Deelnemende instellingen: 1. Amsterdamse Hogeschool voor de Kunsten

2. Univerzita Masarykova, Brno

Plaats: Amsterdam en Brno

Tijdstip: gehele academisch jaar 1998/1999

Doel: Het gezamenlijk ontwikkelen van een module Museology.

Sluit aan bij subdoelstelling (zie pag.10): 1, 5, 6, 7 en 8

Beschrijving:

Sinds de omwenteling van 1989 bevinden de musea van Tsjechië zich in een proces van

transformatie. Geen enkele aspect van het museumbedrijf ontkomt aan fundamentele

herbezinning. De opleiding Museum Studies van Masaryk University en de museumopleiding

van de Reinwardt Academie, onderdeel van de AHK, werken al enige tijd, op incidentele basis,

samen. Voor de Reinwardt Academie is het fundamentele transformatieproces vanuit

onderwijskundig oogpunt erg interessant, voor de Masaryk University is de (Westers

georiënteerde) expertise van de Reinwardt Academie interessant. Het voornemen is om beide

sterke punten te bundelen in een gezamenlijk te ontwikkelen module Museology.

Het eerste jaar zal de nadruk komen te liggen op grondige kennismaking van elkaars curriculum

door middel van stafuitwisseling en het gezamenlijk deelnemen aan een Summerschool

Museology.

Bij de stafuitwisseling zal de nadruk liggen op het geven van gastcolleges en inhoudelijke

besprekingen. Bij de gastcollege zal bij onderwerpskeuze zal de behoefte van de gastinstelling

en uiteraard de sterktes van de gastdocent centraal staan.

De Summerschool zal gewijd zijn aan de rol die museologie-onderwijs zou moeten vervullen in

de situatie van Midden- en Oost-Europa in het algemeen en Tsjechië in het bijzonder. Het is

de bedoeling dat ervaringen, kennis en visies worden uitgewisseld, waarbij de ervaringen

opgedaan bij de staf en studentenuitwisselingen een belangrijke rol zullen spelen. De

resultaten zullen via de website worden verspreid (zie deelproject 3). Na dit meer op analyse

gerichte deel van de workshop zal de toekomstige inhoudelijke samenwerking worden

Deelproject 7 Ensemblecultuur in Praag

Titel deelproject: Ensemblecultuur in Praag

Deelnemende instellingen: 1. Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht, Utrecht

2. Akademie Múzickych Umení v Praze

3. Amsterdamse Hogeschool voor de Kunsten

Plaats: Utrecht en Praag

Tijdstip: Januari 1998 en Juni 1999

Doel: Het ontwikkelen van een duidelijk omschreven

studieonderdeel voor het ensemblespel in het algemeen en

kamermuziek (een zeer specifieke vorm van ensemblespel) in

het bijzonder.

Sluit aan bij subdoelstelling (zie pag.10): 1, 5, 6 en 8

Omschrijving:

Nederland bezit in verhouding tot Tsjechië een minder ontwikkelde traditie op kamermuziek:

Nederlandse kamermuziekensembles van hoog niveau zijn schaars en bestaan nogal eens uit

buitenlandse musici. Ter vergelijking: op de Muziekakademie te Praag zijn er 12

kamermuziekensembles, die alle op internationaal topniveau functioneren en opgeleid zijn in

de sterke kamermuziektraditie van de Praagse Muziekakademie.

Er is een direkte relatie tussen het ontbreken van Nederlandse kamermuziekensembles en de

minder ontwikkelde traditie in onderwijs van kamermuziek op de Nederlandse conservatoria.

Bovendien speelt het feit dat instellingen voor het hoger muziekvakonderwijs mede worden

beoordeeld op de mate van activiteiten op het gebied van de kamermuziek. Bij buitenlandse

aspirant muziekstudenten spelen aantoonbare ensemble-activiteiten een niet te

onderschatten rol bij de keuze van een instelling. De stimulering van de ensemblecultuur

verhoogt dus de aantrekkelijkheid van het Nederlandse hogere muziekvakonderwijs voor (in

toenemende mate zelf gefinancierde) buitenlandse studenten. Met dit deelproject willen de

Nederlandse conservatoria nu gaan profiteren van de aanwezige know-how in de Tsjechische

kamermuziektraditie.

Kamermuziek is een essentieel onderdeel van de studie van een instrumentale

muziekstudent, met name in de vakken piano en de strijkinstrumenten. Studenten leren in

kamermuziek om te gaan met zaken als samenspel, luisteren naar anderen, intonatie,

articulatie en frasering; zaken die stuk voor stuk uiterst belangrijk zijn in de opleiding van elke

instrumentale muziekstudent. Bovendien doet men praktische ervaring op: de student moet

in de kamermuziekensembles intensief samen kunnen werken met collega’s, iets wat hij/zij de

rest van zijn/haar professionele leven zal moeten blijven doen. Hierdoor is het projekt

specifiek kwaliteitsverhogend voor de latere beroepsuitoefening van de studenten.

Tevens geeft de beoefening van kamermuziek de student de kans kennis te maken met een

uniek en rijk onderdeel van de Westerse klassieke muziekcultuur.

Het eerste jaar

Zoals in gedurende het gehele project staat ook in 1998/1999 curriculumontwikkeling

centraal. Hieromheen worden studentenuitwisselingen, stafmobiliteit en

gastdocentschappen gegroepeerd.

Studentenuitwisselingen: studenten zullen in kleine ensembles van maximaal 6 personen

korte, zeer intensieve cursussen ontvangen van Praagse docenten, die een internationale

reputatie hebben op dit vakgebied.

Stafreizen: Nederlandse docenten krijgen de taak onderzoek te doen naar onderwijsmethoden

voor kamermuziek en de inpassing hiervan in de bestaande curricula van een aantal specifieke

Structurele Samenwerking hoger kunstvakonderwijs Nederland - Tsjechië, pagina 21

vakgebieden (strijkinstrumenten en piano). Tsjechische docenten treden op als gastdocent

en vormen een belangrijk onderdeel van dit projekt: hun bezoeken aan Nederland zullen een

belangrijke impuls geven aan de kamermuziekcultuur op de conservatoria. Tevens zullen de

gastdocenten nauw betrokken zijn bij de curriculumontwikkeling.

1999/2000 en verder:

Curriculumontwikkeling is een kwestie van jaren. Op vergelijkbare wijze zullen de activiteiten

plaatsvinden, met wellicht nuanceringen per vakgebied. Gaandeweg zal het nieuwe

studieonderdeel explicieter vorm moeten krijgen en tenslotte in het derde jaar definitief in het

reguliere curriculum geïmplementeerd worden. Overwogen zal worden om dan structureel

docenten van elkaars opleidingen uit te nodigen om als externe deskundige zitting te nemen

in de examencommissie.

Sluit aan bij subdoelstelling (zie pag.10): 6, 7 en 8

Achtergrond:

Kamermuziek is een essentieel onderdeel van de studie van een instrumentale

Nederland bezit in verhouding tot Tsjechië een minder ontwikkelde traditie op kamermuziek:

Nederlandse kamermuziekensembles van hoog niveau zijn schaars en bestaan nogal eens uit

buitenlandse musici. Er is een direkte relatie tussen het ontbreken van Nederlandse

kamermuziekensembles en de minder ontwikkelde traditie onderwijs van kamermuziek op de

Nederlandse conservatoria.

Tsjechië kent daarentegen een lange en rijke traditie op het gebied van ensemblespel. Ter

illustratie: op de Muziekakademie te Praag zijn er 12 kamermuziekensembles, die alle op

internationaal topniveau functioneren en opgeleid zijn in de sterke kamermuziektraditie van de

instelling. Met dit deelproject willen de Nederlandse conservatoria gaan profiteren van de

aanwezige know-how in de Tsjechische kamermuziektraditie en tegelijkertijd studenten op een

pedagogisch en artistiek verantwoorde wijze laten kennismaken met de internationale

beroepspraktijk.

Beschrijving deelproject

De bedoeling is dat twee concerten georganiseerd zullen worden, één in Nederland en één in

Tsjechië. Deze concerten zullen gegeven worden door 2 studentenensembles, wederom één

uit Nederland en één uit Tsjechië. Het zal hierbij gaan om twee strijkkwartetten (strijkkwartet: 4

musici, 2 violen, 1 altviool en 1 violoncello). Beide ensembles zullen voor deze concerten

composities instuderen en uitvoeren uit het te bezoeken land: het Nederlandse ensemble

een Tsjechische compositie en het Tsjechische ensemble een Nederlandse, zodat het

culturele uitwisselingsaspect maximaal tot uitdrukking komt.

Hiernaast zullen voor het tweede gedeelte van het concertprogramma beide strijkkwartetten

samengevoegd worden tot één ensemble, een octet (8 musici).

De gezamenlijke uitvoering van deze compositie zal dit projekt op een hoger niveau verheffen.

Het is namelijk onze ervaring dat "normale" uitwisselingsconcerten, waarbij groepen

Structurele Samenwerking hoger kunstvakonderwijs Nederland - Tsjechië, pagina 23

studenten een bevriend conservatorium bezoeken en aldaar een concert geven, soms een

wat oppervlakkige manier van internationaliseren is. Door de programmering van het

bovengenoemde octet krijgen de studenten daadwerkelijk de mogelijkheid samen te werken en

zo direkt kennis te nemen van verschillen in speelstijlen, muzikale benaderingen en het

algemene niveau. Studenten kunnen dan hun eigen prestaties vergelijken en toetsen aan die

van de bezoekende studenten: vaak heeft dit een niveauverbeterend effect. Dit aspect zal

het pedagogische niveau van het projekt aanzienlijk verhogen. Tevens is onze ervaring dat

wanneer muziekstudenten de kans krijgen met elkaar samen te werken, niet alleen de

uitwisseling van muzikale, maar ook van culturele ervaringen veel intensiever is.

Het concertprogramma zal in onderling overleg worden vastgesteld. Alle composities zullen

door de studenten ingestudeerd worden onder begeleiding van 2 docenten, één uit Nederland

en één uit Tsjechië. Beide docenten zullen gespecialiseerd zijn in het vakgebied kamermuziek.

Het Nederlandse ensemble zal lessen ontvangen van een Tsjechische docent, het

Tsjechische ensemble van een Nederlandse docent, zodat ook op deze manier de studenten

maximaal in aanraking kunnen komen met nieuwe muzikale benaderingen en opvattingen. Het

gezamenlijke ensemble (het octet) zal dan tevens van beide docenten lessen ontvangen.

De Tsjechische studenten zullen tevens gedurende hun aanwezigheid in Utrecht en

Amsterdam in de gelegenheid worden gesteld individuele lessen te volgen bij docenten van de

faculteit muziek.

Tot slot biedt een gezamenlijke uitvoering goede mogelijkheden voor activiteiten ten aanzien

van de beeldvorming van de onderwijskundige en culturele betrekkingen tussen Nederland en

Tsjechië in het algemeen en het Nederlands - Tsjechische samenwerkingsprogramma op het

gebied van kunstonderwijs in het bijzonder.

1999/2000 en verder:

Afhankelijk van de ervaringen zullen de concerten ook in de jaren daarna worden gehouden en

opgenomen in de vorm van een onderwijsmodule als regulier onderdeel van het curriculum.

Deelproject 9 Curriculum ontwikkeling

Figurentheater

Titel deelproject: Curriculum ontwikkeling Figurentheater

Deelnemende instellingen: 1. Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht,

afstudeerrichting Figurentheater

2. Akademie Múzickych Umení v Praze,

Department Alternative and Puppet Theatre

Plaats: Utrecht, Praag

Tijdstip: academisch jaar 1998/1999, totale duur 3 jaar

Doel: Een impuls te geven aan het opzetten van een specifieke

studieroute voor figurentheater binnen een beroepsopleiding

in Nederland, waarbij gebruik wordt gemaakt van de specifieke

karakteristieken en ervaringen van het Praagse figurentheater.

Via de uitwisseling van docenten en studenten wordt de

specifieke kennis overgedragen en naar een hoger niveau

getild, waardoor een module ontstaat die toepasbaar is in het

Nederlands theateronderwijs. In eerste instantie in Utrecht, in

de toekomst wellicht ook aan andere theateropleidingen in

Nederland. Dit bij wijze van een internationale

theaterwerkplaats voor poppen-, beeldend, en objecttheater,

zoals daar vanuit de beroepspraktijk op aangedrongen is (zie

Rapport "Ateliers op Handen" van Drs. J. J. Bollebakker dat in

1995 aan het Ministerie van O.C.W. is aangeboden.)

Sluit aan bij subdoelstelling (zie pag.10): 1, 5, 7 en 8

Beschrijving:

Het 'Department of Alternative and Puppet Theatre' in Praag biedt opleidingen die gebaseerd

zijn op een wijd perspectief op theater studies. Enerzijds volgt men de oude pedagogische

traditie van poppentheater opleidingen, anderzijds ontwikkelt men juist in Praag nieuwe

bewegingstechnieken die voortkomen uit avant-garde theater en de beweging richting 'open

theater'. Deze combinatie biedt dus niet alleen een training in algemene theatertechnieken,

maar stimuleert ook de ontwikkeling van artistieke uitingsvormen middels objecten. Het

programma benadrukt de verbeelding, non--traditionele mise-en-scène, precisie van stijl en de

mogelijkheid tot het ontwikkelen van voorstellingen.

Deze beroepsopleiding voor het terrein van poppentheater in Praag is na de oorlog opgericht

en was de eerste in Europa. Utrecht kan bij het opzetten van het studietraject voor

figurentheater profijt hebben van de expertise die in de afgelopen decennia in Praag is

opgebouwd.

Het 'Department of alternative and puppet theatre' bestaat uit drie secties: een theoretische

sectie, een creatieve/artistieke sectie en voorstellingssectie. Aan het hoofd van het

department staat theatermaker Josef Krofta en de hoofddocente Markéta Schartová.

Docenten van Utrecht en Amsterdam ontmoeten hen en hun collega's tijdens internationale

theater festivals in Europa. Er is al meermalen gepraat over de mogelijkheid om de expertise

van Praag in te zetten voor de ontwikkeling van nieuwe onderwijsmodules in Utrecht. Dit

project zou de start daarvan zijn.

Structurele Samenwerking hoger kunstvakonderwijs Nederland - Tsjechië, pagina 25

In 1998/1999 zal gewerkt worden aan de gezamenlijke ontwikkeling van onderwijsmodules

voor:

- het maken van en spelen met poppen en objecten

- het maken van en spelen met maskers

- een laboratorium voor onderzoek van beweging in relatie tot scenografie (Lecoq-benadering)

- scenografie van alternatief theater

Om tot een verdieping van curriculumontwikkeling voor de afstudeerrichting figurentheater te

komen aan beide betrokken instellingen, zal een 3-weekse workshop worden gehouden in

Utrecht. Aan deze workshop nemen docenten van Praag en Utrecht deel. Als keynote speaker

zal Josef Krofta of Markéta Schartová uitgenodigd worden. De resultaten van deze

bijeenkomst worden gebruikt voor de ontwikkeling van een module figurentheater en

afspraken over wederzijdse erkenning..

1999/2000 en verder

Mede op basis van de drie-weekse workshop zal een opzet tot de ontwikkeling van een

modulair traject figurentheater tot stand komen. In de periode 1999/2000 zal deze

studieroute verder verfijnd worden door de modules toe te passen in het onderwijs van beide

betrokken HO instellingen. Ook zal worden overwogen docenten van elkaars opleidingen in de

beoordelings- of wellicht examencommissie op te nemen als externe deskundige. In een

tweede drie-weekse workshop zullen docenten van Praag en Utrecht de relatie onderzoeken

tussen figurentheater en animatiefilms.

Beklijfbaarheid:

Aangezien het project zal leiden tot de ontwikkeling van modules figurentheater aan beide

betrokken HO instellingen, waardoor deze een vast onderdeel van het opleidingscurriculum

gaan vormen, wordt het meegenomen in de reguliere begroting voor de desbetreffende

opleiding.

Department of non-verbal acting

Plaats: Amsterdam

Tijdstip: januari 1999, totale duur 2 jaar

Doel: de ontwikkeling van een onderwijsmodule 'mime comedy' en

een onderwijsmodule 'non-verbaal theater en animatiefilm' aan

de opleidingen te Utrecht en Amsterdam, wat een inhoudelijke

aanvulling en verdieping van de huidige opleidingen inhoudt,

door het doen van co-productie op dit gebied.

Sluit aan bij subdoelstelling (zie pag.10): 1, 5, 7 en 8

Achtergrond

Het 'department of non-verbal acting' is het nieuwste pedagogische en artistieke centrum

binnen de HAMU te Praag. Alhoewel pas opgericht in 1992 betekent dit niet dat dit

specialisme niet eerder bestond. In eerste instantie was het een van de afstudeerrichtingen

binnen de dansopleiding, en na 1980 werd het een aparte studierichting. Tot die tijd hield het

zich vooral bezig met klassieke mime, waarvan de oprichter en hoofddocent de beroemde

Tsjechische mime docent, Ladislav Fialka was. Zijn werk is overgenomen door Ctibor Turba, die

een breder concept van non-verbaal theater en het komische genre introduceerde. Tijdens de

opleiding worden de technieken van mime en bewegingsuitdrukkingen bestudeerd, en omdat

er weinig voorstellingen in dit kunstenveld bestaan zet hij zich met name in om originele,

creatieve werken te ontwikkelen.

De Mime Opleiding in Amsterdam is sterk beïnvloedt door de traditie van de 'mime corporel'

van Etienne Decroux, terwijl het bewegingsonderwijs van de Utrechtse acteursopleiding zich

laat inspireren door de acteertraining van de Franse theaterpedagoog Jacques Lecoq. Met het

oog op een brede en internationaal georiënteerde inzetbaarheid in de beroepspraktijk is het

van belang vanuit de drie genoemde verschillende invalshoeken tot praktische uitwisseling te

komen in de vorm van co-producties en de ontwikkeling van gezamenlijke onderwijsmodulen.

Beschrijving:

Totstandkoming van een gezamenlijke co-produktie over ‘mime-comedy’, te houden in januari

1999 te Amsterdam. Docenten van de drie betrokken opleidingen zullen ieder hun eigen

oriëntatie c.q. benadering inbrengen: te weten Amsterdam de Decroux benadering, Utrecht de

Lecoq-benadering en Praag de Tsjechische traditie van bewegingstheater. Verdere uitwerking

van deze gegevens zal leiden tot een module over ‘mime-comedy’. Als keynote speaker zal

Ctibor Turba uitgenodigd worden.

2. Studenten van andere Nederlandse Theateropleidingen

3. Janáckova Akademie Múzickych Umení v Brne

Department of Drama Education for the Deaf

Plaats: Utrecht

Tijdstip: september 1998

Doel: Een bijeenkomst te organiseren in Utrecht waarbij docenten en

studenten van de Nederlandse theateropleidingen kennis

kunnen maken met studenten en docenten van de opleiding

drama educatie voor doven uit Brno. Een kleine

conferentie zal middels de voorstellingen van de studenten

van de opleiding drama educatie voor doven, leiden tot

discussies tussen studenten en docenten over de gebruikte

bewegingstechnieken en de toepasbaarheid daarvan in het

Nederlands theateronderwijs.

Sluit aan bij subdoelstelling (zie pag.10): 1, 7 en 8

Achtergrond

De afdeling 'drama educatie voor doven' werd in 1992 opgericht aan de akademie te Brno, en

vormt daarmee een unieke opleiding in Europa. Voorstellingen gemaakt door studenten en

docenten van deze opleiding hebben op Tsjechische en Europese theater festivals al menige

prijs gewonnen. De voorstellingen die ze maken blinken uit in schoonheid en kwaliteit, en zijn

bedoeld voor zowel volwassenen als kinderen.

In het doven onderwijs wordt veel aandacht besteedt aan de ontwikkeling van

bewegingstechnieken, en beoefend in onderwerpen als bewegingsleer, moderne en klassieke

dans, tap-dansen, mime en jongleren.

Het belangrijkste onderdeel van de studie is bewegingstheater, de studenten leren met name

mime en geheimen van theater die principes hanteert van totaal communicatie. De beweging

en visuele artisticiteit wordt geaccentueerd door technieken uit de kunst, het werken met

maskers, poppen etc. De studenten praktizeren ook psychologische zelfontdekking,

ontspanningsoefeningen, logopedie, gebarentaal, vreemde talen en werken met de computer.

De theoretische disciplines (kunst en theatergeschiedenis, pedagogiek, psychologie, hygiëne)

worden geleerd via de gesproken taal terwijl er simultaan in gebarentaal vertaald wordt. De

studenten hebben de beschikking over geschreven collegedictaten van de docenten. Een

gebarentaal docent is op alle door de school georganiseerde activiteiten aanwezig.

Binnen de opleiding voor drama educatie in Utrecht is een aantal jaren geleden een specifiek

studietraject voor doven ontwikkeld waar een drietal dove drama-docenten zijn afgestudeerd.

Dit initiatief was uniek in het Nederlands theater onderwijs.

In het kader van deskundigheidsbevordering waren er destijds contacten met een

kunstvakopleiding voor doven in de USA. Pogingen om binnen Europa tot uitwisseling van

expertise te komen op dit gebied liepen destijds op niets uit. In het kader van het meer

toegankelijk maken van kunstonderwijs voor studenten met een handicap is het van groot

belang dat de ervaringskennis van Brno en Utrecht bijeen gebracht wordt en overdraagbaar

gemaakt voor derden.

Structurele Samenwerking hoger kunstvakonderwijs Nederland - Tsjechië, pagina 29

Beschrijving:

De bedoeling is door een aantal activiteiten een uitdieping te bereiken van het specifieke

onderwerp drama educatie voor doven in relatie tot de theatertraining middels

bewegingstechnieken. De resultaten uit de activiteiten worden meegenomen in het

Nederlands theateronderwijs en zullen leiden tot een nieuwe toepasbaarheid en verdieping

van het onderwerp. Middels het vastleggen van de voorstellingen en de oefeningen op

beeldmateriaal, door studenten van de faculteit kunst, media & technologie van de HKU, kan

de opgedane ervaring dienen als leerstof na afloop van de conferentie.

Voorgenomen activiteit is een ontmoeting tussen Utrecht en Brno in September 1998 in

Utrecht.

a. Presentatie van de voorstelling door de studenten van Drama educatie voor Doven

‘Genesis’, waarmee ze in het laatste Theaterscholen Festival in Brno een prijs wonnen.

b. Post-graduate voorstelling ‘Lieve’ van de Utrechtse theateropleiding voor een publiek van

10 jaar en ouder, met behulp van gebarentaal toegankelijk gemaakt voor doven, door een

horende afgestudeerde van de Opleiding voor het Docentschap Drama.

c. Hieraan gekoppeld een eendaagse conferentie over ervaringen met drama educatie voor

doven in Brno en Utrecht in relatie tot de theatertraining van bewegingstechnieken. De

resultaten zullen via de website worden verspreid (zie deelproject 3).

Getracht wordt de voorstellingen plaats te laten hebben ten tijde van de startconferentie (zie

deelproject 1)

Beklijfbaarheid

Middels de festivals in Europa blijven de studenten en docenten elkaar ontmoeten, en kan

men elkaar blijven informeren en leren op basis van nieuwe technieken en

toepassingsmogelijkheden.

principes van distance learning met als startpunt de

Quadriennale te Praag.

Sluit aan bij subdoelstelling (zie pag.10): 1, 3, 4, 5, 7 en 8

Achtergrond

In juni 1999 vindt de Quadriennale te Praag plaats. Deze enige wereldtentoonstelling op het

gebied van theatervormgeving en theatertechniek, is voor zowel de professionele wereld als

het onderwijs een belangrijke ontmoetingsplaats. Het studentenaandeel van de Quadriennale

wordt georganiseerd en begeleidt door de onderwijscommissie van de OISTAT (Organisation

International des Scénographes Technicien et Architects du Théâtre). Voorheen had de

OISTAT haar zetel in Praag, sinds kort is het secretariaat gevestigd in Amsterdam en werkt

nauw samen met de AHK.

De theatervormgeving opleidingen van Amsterdam en Utrecht willen hier met de twee andere

Nederlandse theatervormgeving-opleidingen (Maastricht en Groningen) een gezamenlijke

presentatie geven rondom het thema van de tentoonstelling 'de theatermaker als ontwerper'.

Hiermee positioneert het Nederlands theatervormgevingsonderwijs zich op een

wereldtentoonstelling, waarbij de relatie 'opleiding - student - en beroepspraktijk' in een direct

verband wordt geplaatst. Studenten van de opleiding Culturele Bedrijfsvoering van de AHK

zullen een beheersmatige bijdrage leveren.

Naast de activiteiten rondom de Quadriennale wordt gestart met het samenstellen van een

groep studenten en docenten van de bovengenoemde onderwijsinstellingen die gaan werken

aan de ontwikkeling van een nieuw curriculum onderdeel 'Scenographics'.

Middels distance learning zullen studenten en docenten theatervormgeving op interactieve

wijze elkaars werk bespreken en becommentariëren op een daarvoor te ontwikkelen

kennisreservoir in de webpage van het project (zie deelproject 3). Dit kennisreservoir is

toegankelijk voort studenten en docenten van de betrokken theatervormgevingsopleidingen in

Nederland en Tsjechië.

Beschrijving:

Voor de aanzet van de ontwikkeling van onderwijsmodule ‘scenographics’ zullen docenten en

studenten scenografie en theatervormgeving tezamen komen bij de Faculteit Kunst, Media &

Technologie van de HKU te Hilversum. Gedurende een drie-weekse workshop zullen ze samen

met studenten interaction design en beeld- en media technologie de grenzen van de techniek

leren verkennen. Welke software moet je gebruiken wil je je ontwerp voor theatervormgeving op

Structurele Samenwerking hoger kunstvakonderwijs Nederland - Tsjechië, pagina 31

het web krijgen, welke communicatielijnen moet je afspreken (wie reageert wanneer en op wat),

kortom hoe interactief kan het onderwijs worden. Een eerste proeftraject wordt uitgezet. Een

praktische training aan betrokken docenten en studenten maakt onderdeel uit van de

workshop. Afspraken worden gemaakt over de wijze van beoordelen en erkenning van elkaars

wederzijds curriculum.

1999/2000 en verder

Tijdens een drie-weekse workshop zal dezelfde groep als die uit 1999 deelnemen aan de

bespreking van de opgedane ervaringen. De mogelijkheden en onmogelijkheden van interactief

communiceren middels het web over een artistiek produkt zullen aan de orde komen. Naast

wederom een praktische training, waarin de technische kanten van interactief onderwijs verder

zullen worden verfijnd, zal een deel van de workshop besteed worden aan het vastleggen van

procedures, het inbedden van de opgedane ervaring in een onderwijsmodule en het maken

van de module ‘scenographics’ welke vanaf het jaar 2000 vast onderdeel zal uitmaken van de

opleiding scenografie/theatervormgeving van de betrokken HO instellingen.

Erkenningsafspraken zullen zijn geïmplementeerd. Ook zal worden overwogen docenten van

elkaars opleidingen in de beoordelings- of wellicht examencommissie op te nemen als externe

deskundige.

Beklijfbaarheid

Nadat er twee jaar is gewerkt aan de praktische en theoretische implementatie van de module

‘scenographics’, zullen de betrokken onderwijsinstellingen middels e-mail en het web blijven

werken aan het ‘zien’ en ‘bespreken’ van elkaars werk. De studenten in Utrecht hebben

allemaal toegang tot een computer met Internetaansluiting. In Praag en Brno is dit nu nog in

ontwikkeling maar zal ter zijner tijd een zelfde vorm hebben aangenomen.

Achtergrond

Het Internationaal Theaterschool Festival (ITs) in Amsterdam is een jaarlijks terugkerend

evenement onder verantwoordelijkheid van Stichting Theaterschool Bedrijf in samenwerking

met de AHK. Naast buitenlandse theateropleidingen nemen alle vier de Nederlandse

theaterscholen aan het festival deel. Het voornemen is om in de nabije toekomst dit festival

een breed draagvlak van het Nederlands theateronderwijs te verschaffen.

In het International Festival of Theatre Schools in Brno kunnen de Nederlandse

theateropleidingen kennismaken en contacten opdoen met tal van theaterscholen uit Midden-

en Oost-Europa. Naast Brno, Praag, Amsterdam en Utrecht, namen er dit jaar (februari 1998)

theaterscholen deel uit Rusland, Polen, Bulgarije, Slovenië, België en Groot-Brittannië.

Beschrijving

a. Participatie van de vier theater schools in de festivals, die georganiseerd worden door Brno

in februari 1999 en door de AHK te Amsterdam in juni 1999. Middels voorstellingen van

studenten kunnen docenten en studenten van de diverse onderwijsinstellingen kennis en

ervaring uitwisselen over de benadering van theateronderwijs in Oost-, Midden- en West-

Europa.

Tijdstip: totale duur project 2 jaar

Doel: Voorbereidingen treffen voor een deelname van het Nederlands

Theateronderwijs tijdens de internationale conferentie "Theatre

and Anthropology" in Brno.

Sluit aan bij subdoelstelling (zie pag.10): 7 en 8

Achtergrond

Sinds 1995 organiseert de Faculteit Theater te Brno samen met het Centre for Experimental

Theatre een twee-jaarlijks internationaal symposium over het onderwerp 'theater en

antropologie'. Het seminar brengt professionals vanuit de hele wereld bij elkaar. Niet alleen

gedurende vergaderingen, discussies en lezingen, maar ook tijdens de demonstraties en

voorstellingen die gelijktijdig plaatsvinden. Het geheel aan activiteiten trekt experts aan uit het

veld van theater en antropologie, die gezamenlijk discussiëren over theorievorming en praktijk.

Het eerste symposium in 1995 stond onder leiding van Richard Schechner.

In December 1997 vond het tweede symposium plaats, georganiseerd en geleid door

Professor Nicola Savarese. Het volgende symposium vindt plaats in 1999. Engels en

Tsjechisch zijn de officiële voertalen tijdens het symposium. Er vindt simultaan vertaling

plaats tijdens de lezingen en discussies van Tsjechisch naar Engels en vice versa. De

organisatie zorgt ervoor dat de notulen van de vergaderingen, de discussies en de lezingen

worden gebundeld in een publikatie.

Uniek aan deze bijeenkomsten is de informele sfeer waarin docenten, studenten en sprekers

tezamen komen en met elkaar van gedachte wisselen over de controversiële relatie tussen

theater en antropologie. Aanleiding hiervoor is de tweedeling tussen aanhangers van het

onderzoek dat gedaan is/wordt door theatermaker Eugenio Barba met betrekking tot een

vergelijkende studie naar acteertechnieken vanuit een antropologisch perspectief en

antropologen die de rol van de podiumkunsten bestuderen als uitdrukking van een levende

cultuur binnen een sociale context. In de HKU is ten behoeve van de aandacht voor de

interculturele dimensie van de kunsten een Centrum voor Interculturele Studies opgericht

binnen de Interfaculteit. De Utrechtse stichting Passepartout heeft in september 1997 in

van de opleidingen te waarborgen

Sluit aan bij subdoelstelling (zie pag.10): 1, 5 en 7

Beschrijving

De HKU en de AMU werken drie jaar samen op het gebied van theatervormgeving. De

samenwerking heeft geleid tot een enkele uitwisselingen van studenten en docenten en een

bescheiden begin van een instroom van betalende Tsjechische studenten in de Utrechtse

masters opleiding. De bedoeling van dit deelproject is om de wederzijdse curricula beter op

elkaar af te stemmen, zodat bijvoorbeeld het gezamenlijk aanbieden van delen van elkaars

onderwijs tot de mogelijkheid gaat behoren. Het beoogde effect van deze aanpassingen is

een internationaler, aantrekkelijker en inhoudelijk verbeterd onderwijsaanbod dat beter

vergelijkbaar is en wederzijds wordt erkend. Hierdoor kan de instroom van betalende

buitenlandse studenten worden vergroot hetgeen een bijdrage levert aan de financiële

onafhankelijkheid en inhoudelijk continuïteit van de opleiding.

In 1998/1999 zal worden geëxperimenteerd met deelname van elkaars studenten aan

aangepaste onderdelen van het curriculum. Ook docenten zullen delen van elkaars onderwijs

als gastdocent meemaken en mogelijk als externe deskundige in elkaars examencommissie

worden uitgenodigd.

1999/2000 en verder

In 1999/2000 zullen de experimenten worden geëvalueerd en zal een begin worden gemaakt

met de structurele implementatie van de aanpassingen. De huidige inschatting is dat dit

proces ook nog in 2000/2001 zijn beslag zal hebben.

Introduction

From 21 to 25 October 1998 the first SCART conference took place in Utrecht. The SCART Project isa three year project that aims at developing a structural cooperation relationship between the Dutchand Czech institutions for higher art education. SCART is the acronym for Structural Cooperation in theARTs between The Czech Republic and The Netherlands. The objective of the conference was tointroduce the project details to the participants, to make a profound start with the seventeensubproject of which the SCART-project exists and last but not least to get to know each other better.

The conference took place at the Central Offices of Utrecht School of the Arts, the coordinatinginstitution of the SCART-project. 44 staff members representing numerous courses and departmentsfrom five institutions participated in the discussion. We are especially proud that Jan Michal,representing the Embassy of the Czech Republic in The Netherlands, was present during theconference opening.A conference team of four persons consisting of art management students from Utrecht School of theArts and Academy of Performing Arts Prague and the SCART project coordinator prepared theconference. Some students from Utrecht volunteered and provided the indispensable additionalsupport during the conference itself. The final responsibility of the content of conference was in thehands of the SCART Steering Committee, a body of four senior representatives, one of each of thecore members of the SCART Consortium.

This report gives an impression about the conference. The structure of the report is a chronologicalone, to provide a realistic image of what happened during these five days. Therefore you can find mostof the hand outs that have been distributed, sheets that have been used and texts of the speechesthat have been delivered, integrated in the text of this report.

The conference has been evaluated at different levels. From the perspective of the participants byusing evaluation form. From an organisational perspective by an internal evaluation meeting. The thirdevaluation, from the perspective of the general SCART project objectives still has to take place in thenext Steering Committee meeting. The results of the evaluations so far are very positive and are in linewith my personal impression that the first SCART conference was a succesful one, both from theorganisational point of view as from a contentwise perspective.I have full confidence that the SCART partners are able to prolong this successful start in the furtherdevelopment of the SCART project activities.

Day one: Arrival day, Wednesday 21 October 1998

During the morning the representatives from Academy of Performing Arts Prague have been pickedup from Schiphol Amsterdam Airport and travelled to Utrecht by train, getting their first impressionsabout the modern railway station architecture, the Ajax-football stadium and the first "polders". After acoffee break at the Central Office of the Utrecht School of the Arts a first introduction about Utrechtwas given from 100 meters height at the Domtower. Lunch was enjoyed together at Café 't Hoogt. Inthe afternoon the Prague delegation checked in at Hotel Tullip Inn Centre and had their preparatorydiscussions for the meetings to come. In the meantime the representatives from Janacek Academy ofPerforming Arts Brno, that arrived late in the afternoon, were picked up from the airport.

All Czech participants and some Dutch representatives met each other at the welcome drink at CafeHofman, the "foyer-bar" of the "Akademietheater" of the Faculty of Theatre. During the joint welcomedinner at Indonesian restaurant Djakarta the first discussions about the future cooperation evolved.The participants have been welcomed by the Chairman of the SCART Steering Committee, and theCzech guest have been introduced to some details of the Dutch history in the Asian region.

Day two: Introduction day, Thursday 22 October 1998

Participants from all SCART partners met at the conference venue, the Central Office Buildings ofUtrecht School of the Arts. Special guest was Jan Michal, Second Secretary of the Embassy of TheCzech Republic in The Hague.

Rien Sprenger, Chairman of the SCART Steering Committee welcomed the conference participants,and surprised all of them by performing personally a Polka-dance together with a SCART Cable as asymbol for a commonly shared cultural heritage. After this lively introduction he gave the floor to BertGroenemeijer, Chairman of the Central Board of the HKU for his opening speech.

Opening speech Bert Groenemeijer

Ladies and Gentlemen,

As Chairman of the Central Board of Utrecht School of the Arts, I am very pleased and honoured thatour school is hosting this first SCART conference. I would like to welcome all the partcipants andguests, especially those from Prague and Brno.A special welcome also to Mr. Jan Michal, representative from the Czech Embassy in The Hague,responsible for Cultural Affairs. Your presence here is a clear signal for us that the Embassy isinterested in the objectives and activities of the SCART project.

When I first heard about the preliminary inititiaves to develop a cooperation project with the CzechRepublic, I started to realize how quickly the changes had developed. In about ten years time ourWestern image about your country changed very much. For the Czech in the audience I will briefly tellyou something about our changing image of your country during the last ten years.Ten years ago we in the West looked at Czechoslovakia as one of the typical Eastern block countries.Freedom was suppressed, international travel was a privilage for the politically correct, and informationthat left the country was not reliable. International cooperation, even between institutes of the arts, wasa difficult thing to achieve, or even impossible. A result of this was that, apart from these cold warstereotypes, we did not know much about your country.

Five years ago our picture of the Czech Republic changed dramatically. We saw an Eastern Europeancountry that was able to develop itself economicly with amazing energy. Apart from being the leadingemerging market in the former Eastern Block, hordes of tourists discovered the splendid cities, wherethe historical and cultural values are represented by the buildings and traditions, that surprisinglysurvived the successive wars and regimes. It was during that time that we started some small scalecooperations in arts education.

Nowadays, ten years after the velvet revolution, we are discovering that your country is not the EasternEuropean country as most of us have always seen it. It is geographically, historically and culturally atypical Central European country.And at the same time we are also in the process of finding out that your country is not the social andcultural unity as we used to look at it. We are at the moment rediscovering that the Czech Republicconsists of two distinctive different parts: Bohemia with Prague as its world known city, and Moraviawith Brno as its splendid and proud capital. We are really happy that the two Czech art educationalinstitutes represent both sides from the country in our project.Despite the fact that the economic miracle lost some of its glance these days, we see that the Czechsare determined to proceed with their efforts to integrate with the other Western and Central Europeancountries; to become linked with the rest of Europe economically and culturally.

The SCART project, that is about to start now, has everything to do with these recent developments.The objective of the SCART project is, as you know, to develop a structural cooperation between theart educational institutes in The Netherlands and those in The Czech Republic. The Dutchgovernment is supporting this project because it understands that cooperation in the field of culture,art and education can contribute largely to the process of mutual understanding and future integrationof European countries.

The SCART project is in my opinion a unique project in more than one way.

First, it is a project that aims at a long term, structural cooperation between institutions in many, if not allfields of study within art education. During this conference you are expected to make a start with your

seventeen subprojects in nearly as much fields of study. The SCART project is unique because it is astructural, institutional and multidisciplinary project.My wish would be that after several years the cooperation will have developed in such a way that wecould combine some of these subprojects and that we cannot only speak about a multidisciplinaryproject, but also about an interdisciplinary project.

The second reason why this project is unique is the fact that art education managed to get supportedby the Dutch government significantly, within a scheme that is not at all geared towards art educationespecially, but to higher education in general. It is a positive development that our Dutch governmentis taking the role of art education in international cooperation seriously and recognizes the importanceof art and culture in international cooperation processes.

The third and last reason why this SCART project is unique is the fact that art institutes within onecountry cooperate together. I read that in the majority of your subprojects more than one institute ofeach country is involved. I am not sure if this is unique in the Czech setting, but I have to admit that thisis the first time that I have seen cooperation between Dutch art schools in an international project withthis scale. I like to thank our collaegues from The Netherlands for the fact that they have made thispossible. It is my profound wish that this "national cooperation in an international project" proves to bebeneficial to all of us.

This SCART project is not only unique but also necessary.I just talked briefly about the past ten years, but more important is our common future in the next tenyears. Fundamental changes in international education are taking place and will take place in thecoming decade. Some examples: the increasing role of new technologies and new media as tools andas content in art education, the globalisation of "student markets", the growing importance ofinternational standardisation and recognition of credits and academic titles, the decreasing willingnessof national governments to take (financial) responsibility for higher education and the growingimportance of international networks of institutions.We cannot face these challenges alone, how large and important we may think we are on a nationallevel. International cooperation, and especially structural international cooperation, will prove to be animportant factor for the survival of our institutes. The SCART project tries to establish such structuralcooperation and is therefore not a luxury, but a necessity.

I have read your conference papers last week and noticed very interesting activities are taking placeduring the coming days. I understand that you will discuss and design the details of your cooperationplans this afternoon and tomorrow. I hope and expect that you will leave this conference motivated andwith the results you need to start working on your project activities.

It is going to be hard work for you these days, but I have also noticed some other elements in theprogramme: Dutch dinner, Czech lunch, theatre plays, Dom tower climbing and even canal boat trips inAmsterdam. So, I think that you will also have plenty of opportunities to relax from the more formaldiscussions and have the time you need, to get to know each other in a more informal atmosphere.You will need this, because a genuine structural cooperation in the future can only be build onpersonal understanding and friendship.

It is my pleasure to declare this first SCART Conference open.

Opening speech Bert Groenemeijer, Chairman of the Central Board of The Utrecht School of the Arts.

Speech Noemi ZarubovaNoemi Zarubova, Vice Dean for Foreign Relations of The Academy of Performing Arts Prague thenheld a speech, in which she introduced the current situation in higher art education in the CzechRepublic, which was very informative, especially for the Dutch people present.

In the past centuries The Netherlands and Bohemia could not decry cultural isolation. Brisk commerceof the Dutch ports provided uninterrupted contacts with the rest of the world, whereas in our latitudes asimilar role was provided by our location right in the middle of Europe that absorbed stimuli fromeverywhere. Still we can identify differences in our respective histories.As Bohemia was incorporated into the Habsburg Empire, The Netherlands fought for itsindependence from the Habsburgs and became a sanctuary for many a Czech Protestant refugee,such as J.A. Comenius.After 1948 when our lands were subjugated by communist dictatorship, The Netherlands againbecame a sanctuary for many Czechs. In the past fifty years, oppression was unfortunately amplified bycultural isolation. It is remarkable that culture in Bohemia and the Netherlands grew ever more intenselythe more disparate influences they received, yet never shed its specificity. Is it not again desirable torenew the exchange of cultural stimuli? The more so as we have had not too many opportunities to doso in the several past decades.After 1948 Czech culture developed in a somewhat different direction than in western countries. Themassive advertising attack and consumer life style did not happen in the Eastern block. The startingpoint for the artist was somewhere else. Whereas differing at all cost and attracting public attentionoften translated into success in the West, Czech artists tried to elude the attention of the bodies of thestate. Each difference or response to social circumstances a priori doomed the artist to failure.The main requirements were optimism and realism. Due to this reason, melancholy and inspiration byNature, that is to say impulses far removed from Western rebellion, are often the hallmark of art ofquality here. It is hoped, however, that our collaboration will help view the issues of art education fromnew angles.

Allow me now to briefly sketch education in our art schools in the Czech Republic. I will attempt tooutline all assets but at the same time I don't wish to gloss over the problems our school system has.Art education attendance may be begin at the age of five at an elementary art school. For the most part,these schools are operated by the state, but after 1990 we have these schools also in private,municipal and church ownership. The important distinctionof these schools is that they do not offer the fundamentals of the general education curriculum.Therefore it is not possible to enroll in this type of school to satisfy compulsory school attendance. Theenrollment here is voluntary, serving the students' specific interests, and only a small fraction of thestudents are preparing themselves for entrance examinations to continue their education in art on thesecondary or college levels.The state subsidizes these schools to a relatively large degree. Tuition paid by students coversroughly 20% of the school's operating costs. The subsidy system is flawed in the manner of subsidydistribution to these schools.The normative method is used regardless of the school's qualities. In practical terms this means anincrease in student numbers and a concomitant reduction of demands on student performance. Theoriginal 530 elementary art schools in 1990 rose to a total of a total of 800 in 1997. True, the strictsyllabus is still in force and states in detail for all available majors what, and in which year, has to bemastered by students, but it is beyond the powers of school inspectors to review this huge number ofstate schools. Of course it is within competence of the ministry to decide the possibility of expandingart education within the framework of compulsory education and to reducethe elementary art schools in number while improving their quality.

I am convinced that education through the disciplines of art is a truly effective vehicle in creating apositive social climate, but it needs to be assessed whether the separation of general education fromelementary education in the arts will be economically feasible in the future.

A new issue, that of insufficient numbers of instructors with adequate skills, arose with the growth ofelementary art schools. We all know that curricula and syllabuses are not enough for the provision ofquality education.A full 15% of all elementary art school teaching positions were held by instructors lacking the requiredskills. Although the ministry has instituted a number of re-qualification courses, it looks inevitable thatthe syllabus for the teaching-oriented branch at conservatories and academies will have to be reviewedthoroughly. By this I am not saying that education, psychology and methodology is not taught there,rather the lectures are not to such an extent as the requirements would demand.Hand in hand with the increase in elementary art schools also the number of conservatories andsecondary art schools went up. Currently there are 13 conservatories in the Czech Republic ascompared with the original six.This growth was not caused by the need to place higher numbers of talent but rather by economicadvantages available to this type of schools.State subsidies per student are several times higher than subsidies per high school student. Here Iwould like to mention one interesting experiment with a music high school which came into existenceafter discussions about education in music. In this case a school was born which attempts to marryhigh-quality practical music education with the rest of the compulsoryhigh-school subjects, which means that theoretically its graduates have wide-open options forselecting their subsequent education. This option is not available to conservatory and secondary artschool graduates since compulsory general education subjects are not taught at an acceptable level.Finally I would like to close my outline by talking about colleges.For music and dramatic art there are two college-type schools, namely Janácek Academy of PerformingArts (JAMU) in Brno and Academy of Performing Arts (AMU) in Prague. Additionally, film may bestudied at the latter. I should also mention Academy of Fine Arts and the Academyof Applied Arts, which will also participate in our program.It is precisely these college-level schools, oriented toward original production, that need theopportunity of contacts and dialoge.Not even the best thought-out network of art education is likely to produce good artists. What isneeded is something else apart from an excellent syllabus. What is needed is to step out of a rut, toescape the stereotype.By providing the basic operations for art education on all levels, the government will have done all whatis necessary. But all of us here know pretty well that new experience, new faces and new insightsconstitute part of the real source of inspiration. As in our country these impulses are provided primarilyin the economic sphere in redeveloping our economy, not a whole lot of funds are left to support artprojects to the desirable extent. We are lucky though that your government has understood the needfor mutuality in the arts. We see this assistance as a moral commitment for the future.

Thank you for your attention.

Presentation about Czech art education and culture by Noemi Zarubova, Vice Dean for Foreign

Relations of AMU.

After a coffee break, Bohemil Smejkal, Dean of the Faculty of Music of Janacek Academy of PerformingArts Brno, surprised everybody by presenting a very small violin concert. During the coffee break hemet on the corridors of the central offices a student of the Faculty of Music, carrying a genuine Czechmade violin. He could not resist playing a Dutch song for the conference audience, which was highlyappreciated.

Speech Giep HagoortGiep Hagoort continued the morning programme and presented his vision on Dutch culture and arteducation in a speech with full interaction with the public and intensive use of the overhead projector.His presentation touched most of the distinctive cultural topics of the Dutch people, like egalitarianism,social welfare, trade lovers, consulting and policy mindedness and tolerancy. He did not leave outsome delicate political topics like the Dutch drugs policy, the differences in words and deeds when itcomes to the multicultural approach in higher education and the buying of a 100 million Mondriaanpainting by the The Netherlands National Bank. Due to the interactive nature of his presentation, a textof his presentation could not be presented here.

Rien Sprenger thanked Noemi Zarubova and Giep Hagoort for their interesting and enjoyablepresentations and offered them a book "The Utrecht Way" that describes the history of art in the city ofUtrecht in a vivid way.

Dutch Lunch and tour Faculty of MusicAfter the morning programme a short tour throught the medieval city centre of Utrecht was organised.A typical Dutch lunch (bread rolls, raisin rolls, cheese, herring, milk and buttermilk) took place at theFaculty of Music, after which a tour in the faculty itself took place.

The Birth of the SCART ProjectThe afternoon programme started with a short explanation on the history of the birth of the SCARTProject by Rien Sprenger.

Representatives of HKU, AHK, AMU and JAMU were present at the Theatre School Festival in Brno inFebruary 1998. During several discussions at this festival some common understanding arose that amore structural approach in the cooperation between the Dutch and Czech Theatre Schools could bebeneficial for all parties. In the months after this festival internal consultations within each institute andexternal consultations with other art education institutions in both countries took place. Theseconsultations proved that the need for a more structural approach in the international cooperation wasnot exclusively felt in the field of Theatre, but also in the fields of Music, New Media, Art Managementand, in a lesser extend, Visual Arts and Design.Utrecht School of the Arts then took the initiative to collect and combine existing initiatives, new ideasand common approaches, in order to create a three year plan to develop a structural cooperationbetween higher art education in The Netherlands and The Czech Republic.In a relatively short period of time 17 subprojects had been identified and described. Although theprojects differ in many points from each other their common feature is that they all added to the overallobjective of the SCART-project: to strengthen the quality and international standing of the educationof the participating institutions by realising structural international cooperation over the next threeyears.This process was further encouraged and speeded up by the Ministry of Education, Culture andSciences in The Netherlands, that offered the possibility to apply for financial support for these kind ofinitiatives. The project was send to the Ministry and they decided to support the project with a grant ofNLG 350.000. The SCART-project could start.

SCART Project OrganisationThe current situation and some organisational matters were discussed. A hand out with more details onthe project organisation was distributed.

SCART Project Organisation

The SCART project is characterized by a relatively large number (eleven) of participants, 17subprojects each with a different subset of participants and each with different fields of study. Activitiesin the subprojects are very different of nature and will take place at different locations in the twodifferent countries. It needs no further explanation that, in order to achieve an efficient and effectiveproject management, early clearity is needed about organisational matters. Therefor a projectorganisation is presented.

2. Institutes

The SCART-project is executed by a Dutch-Czech consortium consisting of four core members and sixparticipating institutions.The core members (HKU, AHK, AMU and JAMU) bear responsibility for the project results and havetherefore their institution represented in the steering committee. The participiting institutionsparticipate in a limited number of subprojects and do not bear responsibility for the project as a whole.The responsibility of all institutions is to select (or replace if needed) one representative for eachsubproject in which the institution participates (one person could be a representative in more than onesubproject). Core members are also responsible for selection (or replacement if needed) onerepresentative for the steering committee.All institutions are expected to commit themselves to the overall objective of the project and to thesubproject activities they agreed upon during the start conference and afterwards.

3. Steering Committee

The responsibility of the steering committee is to control the progress and quality of the overall projectin order to achieve the overall project objectives.

The tasks and activities of the steering committee are:

• controlling that the project activities are geared to each other

• determining the content of the yearly project conference• identifying problems and taking measures to solve them• deciding on topics that go beyond individual subprojects.• deciding on yearly budgets, reports, new subprojects, new SCART members and other newproposals

The steering committee is competent to take every reasonable measure that the committee considersnecessary to fulfill their responsibility.

The steering committee consist of four members, one representative of each consortium institution.One of the members chairs the committee. They meet and contact each other as often as theyconsider necessary, but they meet at least once a year. On request of the steering committee, theproject coordinator will be present at their meetings for support. Steering group members areexpected to take their decisions in consultation with the persons they represent, but as steering groupmember remain competent to make decisions on their own .

4. Project Coordinator

The responsibility of the Project Coordinator is to support the steering committee by advising,coordinating and executing project management activities.

The tasks and activities of the project coordinator are:• day to day management of the project• advising the steering committee on all relevant subjects• organising the yearly conference• advising on and executing financial procedures• writing draft budgets, reports and new applications• gathering, analysing and redistributing information from subprojects.• to act as supporting participant at the steering committee meeting (on request)

The project coordinator is competent to take every reasonable management measure that heconsiders necessary to fulfill his responsibilty. He reports to and is accountable to the steeringcommittee.

The project coordinator performs his activities on a day to day basis. During peak times he could haveassistence. Given the role of secretary and contractor of the Utrecht School of the Arts, the projectcoordinator is located in Utrecht.

5. Project teams

The activities of each subproject is carried out by a project team. That means that in theory 17 projectteams will be active. In practice not every subproject needs a project team (eg subproject 16 and 17)and some project teams can handle more than one subproject.

The responsibility of a project team is to achieve the subproject results as foreseen in the subprojectproposal, within the budget limits.

The tasks and activities of each project team is very much dependent of the subproject concerned, soit can not be given here. However there are some activities that should be caried out by each projectteam, like:

• reporting on progress to project coordinator• comply to the organisational and financial procedures of the project.

A project team is competent to take every reasonable measure that it considers necessary to fulfill itsresponsibility, as long as the measures comply with the objectives of the subproject and organisationaland financial arrangements that are decided upon by the steering committee. A project team reports toand is accountable to the steering committee.

One team member acts as a contact person for the project coordinator and the steering committee.One team member acts as financial contact person to the project coordinator. Due to formal financialregulations from Dutch government the financial contact person should be a representative of one ofthe Dutch core members of the consortium (AHK or HKU). The general contact person and thefinancial contact person can be (it is even preferred) the same person.

Hand out on project organisation distributed during introduction of SCART project.

Workshop sessionsWessel Meijer continued with an explanation of the aims of the workshop sessions that took place thatafternoon and the whole next day, forming the core of the conference.

Workshop sessions during the SCART Conference

During the conference workshops have been organised. These workshops will take place in threesessions on Thursday afternoon, Friday morning and Friday afternoon. The objective of theseworkshops is to make a well prepared start with the subprojects of the SCART project. During all threesession periods, each subproject has its own workshop, which means that all workshops run parralel atthe same time.

Some teams cannot have their workshop during all three sessions periods, because their teammembers are not able to attent the whole conference. These teams have to achieve the same resultsas the others, but in a shorter time. A seperate adapted schedule will be provided to these teams.

The subprojects form the core of the SCART project. The workshops therefor form the core of theconference. We hope and expect that each subproject team will agree on the activitites they want toperform and that clearity will be achieved about planning and finances in each subproject.

To be able to achieve this we have structurized the workshops for you:

Time Session number Topic

Thursday 22 October afternoon Workshop session 1 Introduction and ContentFriday 23 October morning Workshop session 2 Planning and Financial MattersFriday 23 October afternoon Workshop session 3 Contact Persons and Reporting

Before each session starts, detailed workshop instructions will be provided. We expect a small reporton each session from each subproject team. During the final plenary, on Friday afternoon, each team isexpected to present their plans briefly to the participants of the conference.

Please contact one of the Confrerence organisers if you have comments or questions.

Presentation about aims and organisation of conference workshop sessions, by Wessel Meijer.

Workshop Session 1After a Dutch tea break the first workshop session took place. The objective of this workshop sessionwas to achieve the full confirmation of all participants on the objectives and content of the subprojectconcerned. A team for each subproject was formed and had seperate discussions at different locationsat the conference venue. The discussions were moderated and pre-structurized with the help ofhands outs with questions. Report forms provided a standardized feedback to the SCART coordinatorand the Steering Committee. The reports are included in this document as annex.

Workshop session 1 Content SubprojectThursday 22 October afternoon

This workshop concentrates on getting to know each other and the content of your subproject. Youare expected to introduce yourself and your work to your collaegues and discuss the objectives of thesubproject and kind of activities that you would like to take place. Please keep in mind that the textsand objectives mentioned in the original application are indicative only and are still open for changes.To give some structure to the discussion, we have prepared some questions for you that you shouldbe able to answer at the and of this workshop session. You could choose to discuss your subprojectquestion by question, but you are of course free to use these questions only as a guidance in yourdiscussion.

Objective of this workshop session

The objective of this workshop is the confirmation af all participants on the objectives and content ofthe subproject.

Reporting

We friendly ask you to report on this workshop session with a written report in English. We wouldappreciate if you use the attached report form. We advise to write this report during this workshop andleave it in the report box. If this is not possible we expect to receive it by mail, fax or e-mail as soon aspossible after the conference.

Recommendations

We recommend that you:• start introducing yourself to each other.• divide your available time equally between the questions or topics you like to discuss.• appoint one person in your team that will be responsible for the report, before you start yourdiscussion.• read the application text of your subproject once more and use this as a starting point, not bible, ofyour discussion.

• remain realistic in your ambitions. Starting small and let the cooperation grow in the following yearsproves often to be a more feasible, than starting with very ambitious plans.

_______________________________________________________________________Questions

1. Could you describe the long term objective (three year or longer) of your subproject?

2. Could you describe the short term objective of the subproject, in othere words what specific resultsdo you aim to achieve in the first year of the project (= before 1 August 1999).

3. What could each partner in this project offer to the project activities (in terms of expertise, people,facilities, information, organisation, traditions).

4. What kind of activities would you like to take place in the first year of the project (= before 1 August1999).

5. What possible obstacles need special attention.

Please do not forget to make your report.

Workshop session 1 "Content Subproject" hand out

Dutch Dinner and theatre performanceA typical Dutch dinner was enjoyed at the Pancake Bakery in one of the medieval cellars at the"Oudegracht" in Utrecht City Centre. The discussions of that afternoon were continued in a moreinformal setting over wide variety of pancakes offered by the restaurant. A group of participantsdecided to visit a Theatre performance "TUCHT" from Dansend Hart at the City Theatre, that took placeas part of the "Opkomst" the Utrecht festival of young theatre makers and performers.

Day three: Workshop Day, Friday 23 October 1998

The third day of the conference was solely meant for a further prepariation of the subprojects activities,in two workshop sessions.

Workshop Session 2instructions for Workshop session 2 were given. During this workshop the subproject teams shouldplan and budget their activities in detail. Hand outs and report forms were distributed. The reports areincluded in this document as annex.

Workshop session 2 Planning and Financial matters

Friday 23 October morning

In workshop 1 you discussed the content of your subproject. This workshop concentrates on thepractical side. The success of a project is very much dependent on a well prepared planning and clearbudget. That is why this will be the longest workshop that will take place.

Objective of this workshop

The objective of this workshop is to create a timetable and a budget plan for the activities, on which allpartners agree.

Reporting

We friendly ask you to report on this workshop session in English. This report should consist of atimetable of your activities and a budget plan, both only for the first year of the project. We wouldappreciate if you use the forms that are attached. We advise to write this report during this workshopand leave it in the report box. If this is not possible we expect to receive it by mail, fax or e-mail as soonas possible after the conference.

Recommendations

We recommend that you:• appoint one person in your team that will be responsible for the report, before you start yourdiscussion.• keep in mind that there is a strong relation between the timetable and the budget. Working ontimetable and budget simultaniously could be wise.• use the "financial rules" as reference for questions you might have about costs that can be coveredfrom the grant and how to calculate costs.• do not spent not too much time on technical financial details, this could be sorted out later as well.Concentrale on the overall allocation of the available grant.• do not include personnel costs in your budget. In general we expect that time spend by staff will notbe covered by the grant. Only in exceptional cases (guest lecturers, providing trainings, specialistcoordination needs) it will be possible to cover personnel costs from your grant.

Tasks______________________________________________________________________

1. Identify all activities you want to perform (and paid for by the SCART grant) during the first year ofyour subproject and order them in chronological order. For each activity you are asked to include thefollowing information:

a. Month in which the activity is expected to take place.

b. which partners are involved.

c. what are the expected costs of this activity.d. which institute will probably claim these costs from SCART.Please use the table that is attached.

2. Prepare a budget plan for the first year of your subproject. You have found an example based onthe activities described in the application and the available budget. You can use this example as astarting point. Please use the "empty" budget form that is attached.

Workshop session 2 "Planning and Finances" hand out

Financial RulesAlso the "SCART Financial Rules", that were adopted by the SCART Steering Committee, wereexplained and distributed.

E. How to claim costs

General rules

1. Claims should preferably be made by institutions. In exceptional cases individiuals can claim directlyas well.

4. Only costs that will be claimed from the grant will apply to these rules. Do not include owncontributions in your claims.

The procedure

If a staff member plans to make expenses in the framework of the SCART project the following stepsshould be followed.1. Request for permission from financial coordinator of the subproject to incur expenses in thesubproject budget.2. If you need a personal advance, ask your institute about the possibilities.3. Execute your activity and make costs.4. Claim your costs from the financial SCART contact person at your institute. Include all proofs of yourcosts, because costs without proof cannot be reimbursed.5. Financial contactperson at your institute fills in the form for reimbursement and signs it.6. Financial contactperson at your institute sends the form for reimbursement to thecentral SCART project coordinator in Utrecht.7. Central SCART project coordinator in Utrecht checks the reimbursement form, takes care for formalapproval from the financial coordinator of subproject and will arrange the money transfer oradministrative deduction from the institutional advance.

Money transfers from The Netherlands to The Czech Republic take about three to four weeks.

F. Advance payments

Institutions can request for an advance payment of expenses that will be claimed from individual staffmembers from the institution. The request should be done in writing by the institutional financialSCART contact person and send or faxed to the SCART project coordinator.

Advances will be registered seperately and are formally treated as a debt from the institutionconcerned to the grantholder of the project, Utrecht School of the Arts. Institutions remain responsiblefor claiming all expenses according to the procedures and rules as descibed in this document.Advances that will not be covered with approved claims must be paid back.

SCART Financial Rules distributed before workshop session 2

Czech Lunch, tour Faculty of Theatre and visit BreweryAfter the morning programme a genuine Czech lunch took place at the Faculty of Theatre, which washighly valued both by the Czech and Dutch participants. A short visit was paid to the adjacent gallery ofthe Faculty of Visual Arts and Design with exhibitions on 3D- Design students and a presentation of anexchange project with Royal Melbourne Institute of Art and Design.

Workshop session 3 "Contact persons" hand out

Plenary PresentationsAt the end of the afternoon every coordinator of each subproject presented the results of theworkshop sessions to all conference participants. These presentations can be found as attachment tothis Conference Report. Subproject 16 Student Mobility and 17 Staff Mobility are not real subproject.These subproject could be described as seperate budgets for additional student and staff mobilities,managed by the project coordinator. The objectives and procedures were therefore explained andhand outs were distributed.

Procedures for SCART student mobility in subproject 16

In subproject 16 a limited budget is available for student mobility that takes place outside the frameworkof the other subprojects. All institutions (core members and participating institutes) can apply for grantsfrom this budget according to the following rules.

Conditions for approval

1. The student is registered as student at one of the ten SCART institutions.2. The host institution is one of the ten SCART institutions (or an organisation/company in case of workplacement) located in The Czech republic for Dutch students or The Netherlands for Czech students.3. Both the home and host institutions must have agreed in writing on the length of the study abroadperiod.4. The minimum period of stay is one month, maximum period of stay is ten months.5. The study abroad period forms an integral part of the study at the home institution and will be fullyrecognized by the home institution.6. A report must be made within two weeks after the study abroad period.7. Grants will only be awarded if the student receives no other grant (e.g. a Socrates grant).8. The SCART Financial Rules apply, which also provide the rules for the calculation of the SCARTgrant.

Priority criteria for approval (in order of priority)1. Students whose study abroad period concerns a field of study or department that has not yet beeninvolved in the SCART-project.2. Students whose study abroad period clearly adds to the structural nature of the cooperation, but isnot already part of one of the other existing subprojects.3. Students whose study abroad period is directly related with the management of the SCART project(e.g. an art management student assisting in one of the subprojects).4. Students from institutions that have received more students than they have send.5. Students from institutions that have send less than avarage number of students.6. Students whose study abroad period is related to one of the existing other subprojects.7. Students who apply early.

Application procedure

1. The home institution and host institution (or work placement organisation) agree on the terms of thestudy abroad period.2.

The SCART Project coordinator will inform the institutions and formally confirm the results in writingtwo weeks after the deadline.5 The staff members claim their expenses from their home institution according to the procedures ofthe "SCART Financial Rules".

Hand out on procedures on Staff Mobility in Subproject 17

Celebration Drink and PrizesThe conference participants were forced to work hard and intensively, but the results had beenaccordingly. Many practical planning agreements and financial arrangements had been achieved,necessary for a quick start of the subproject activities itself. Also the participants expressed theirmotivation to make their subproject a success. And last but not least the members of the teams had gotto know each other well and had had the opportunity to build good working and sometimes personalrelationships, that will prove to be important for the future of the cooperation.This positive result of the work sessions was celebrated with a quickly organized surprise drink at theconference venue. Five very noteworthy participants were given "special prizes" for their uniquecontribution to the conference. The prizes were five typical Dutch Chocolade letters together formingthe acronym SCART. Each letter represented an appreciated value that had been recognized with thewinning participants.

Czech Dinner and Theatre PerformanceA typical Czech dinner was enjoyed in a Prague-looking cellar-reataurant, called Tante's Bistro. Someparticipants later went on to the theatre performance Kung Fu, by Victoria Gent, at Tivoli Theater, thattook place as part of the "Opkomst", a Utrecht festival of young theatre makers and performers.

Day four: Cultural day, Saturday 24 October

The fourth day of the conference was meant to introduce the Czech participants to Dutch art andculture. In two mini vans they travelled first to Naarden Vesting to visit the Comenius Museum.Comenius was a Czech living in Holland and among other things he played a crucial role in theinnovation of education in European history. After the museum a tour was made through the polderand dyke landscape, after which individual visits to the city of Amsterdam were paid.A farewell dinner was held at "Restaurant De Vijff Vliegen", in a typical 17th century Dutch style room.Farewell speeches were delivered and wishes for a successful SCART-project were expressed.

Day five: Departure day, Sunday 25 October

The Czech participants left Holland to prepare the SCART-activities at their home institutions.

Introduction

This SCART interim report provides information about the activities and results of the SCART

project in the period 1 September 1998 to 15 Februari 1999. The SCART project is a cooperation

project between eleven Dutch and Czech institutions for higher art education with the objective to

increase the quality and international standing of the education by establishing a structural

cooperation between Dutch and Czech art education. The core of the project is a coherent set of

17 subprojects in which the SCART institutions aim at establishing a structural cooperation in a

certain field of study (music, theatre, art management, etc) or certain type of cooperation (quality

assurance, mobility, information, etc). The project has the duration of three years and is co-

financed by the particpating institutions and the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and

Sciences.

This interim report should be read in close connection with the original grant application text that

provides a complete and detailed description of the anticipated SCART activities.

During the preparatory phase the project did not have a real name or title. In the summer of 1998,

after it became clear that financial support was there, it was decided to name the project SCART, an

acronym for Structural Cooperation in ART education between The Czech Republic and The

Netherlands. The name refers to the data-cable that provides a high quality connection between

different audio visual applications thanks to its integrated multipinned architecture.

The past zeven months has been successful for SCART. The subproject activities proceed

according to the set planning and the administrative and organisational implementation is beyond

expectations. De highlights of the past months are the conference in October, the International

Festival of Theatre Schools in Brno in February 1999 and the decision to enlarge the SCART

consortium with a new partner, the Royal Academy of Visual Art The Hague. The enthousiasm of

the staff and students for the SCART-project and the committment of the respective institutional

administrative bodies is a promising sign for the future.

A less fortunate moment in the project was the decision of the Rietveld Academy Amsterdam not

to participate in the first year of SCART project. Since this decision is in the opinion of the steering

committee more the result of communication problems rather than the result of academic

considerations, we hope that the Rietveld Academy will join the SCART project at a later phase.

This report starts in chapter 1 with a description of the state of the art of the core of the project:

the academic and educational aspects in the 17 subprojects. In chapter 2 the results of the

administrative implementation are presented. Chapter 3 will do the same for the management

aspects. A report on the implementation of the staff and student mobility can be found in chapter

4. Chapter 5 will shortly go into the dissemination of information. We consider chapter 6 to be an

important part of this report because it outlines the future of the SCART project including some

new initiatives. The 7th and last chapter will report on the financial aspects of the project. More

detailed information can be found in the attached documents.

The participants in the SCART project decided to use English as the projects lingua franca. Since

this report had to be approved by the international steering committee and since the report will be

distributed among all active SCART participants, also this report is written in English.

On behalf of the SCART Steering Committee.

1. Educational Implementation of the SCART Cooperation

1.0 Introduction

The core of the project is a coherent set of 17 subprojects in which the SCART institutions aim at

establishing a structural cooperation in a certain field of study (music, theatre, art management,

etc) or certain type of cooperation (quality assurance, mobility, information, etc).

Althought these subproject implement there activities relatively autonomously, the selection of the

subprojects and the results they aim for are carefully selected on the basis of criteria derived from

the overall SCART objective: increase quality by developing a structural cooperation. The

administrative involvement, the dissemination of information, the yearly conference and the

monitoring and control activities by the SCART steering committee must assure that the SCART

project as a whole is more than the sum of the seventeen seperate subprojects. It is much too

early to draw conclusion on this particular aspect already now, but the signs are positive: active

steering committee, well attended conference, motivated and interested participants, active

communication on a SCART-project level, and integration of aspects of some subprojects.

This chapter contain reports on each seperate subproject. Since most of the planning activities

took place during the SCART conference at the end of October 1998, the report will also contain a

lot of information about the activities that are agreed upon in the remaining part of this academic

and project year. The reports are based on an interim self evaluation by the subproject teams as of

15 February 1999. As a result of this the report hav the format of answers on questions originally

provided by the SCART organisation.

The overall conclusion of the SCART steering committee is that the educational implementation of

the project is developing successful: activities planned within the reporting period are executed

accordingly, targets for the period up to 1 September 1999 are set and clear and the participants

are motivated.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.1 Initial conference

Subproject Coordinator: Wessel Meijer (HKU)

Financial Contact Person: Wessel Meijer (HKU)

Participating institutions: All SCART institutions

The objective of the conference was: Composing the project teams, making operational agreements

on all subprojects, making agreements on mutual harmonisation via the steering committee and

motivating the participants. The conference took place from 21 to 25 October 1999 and

evaluations show that it was successful. The subproject objectives have been achieved. A detailed

report on the conference has been made and is attached to this document.

8. Please describe major changes (if there are) in the objectives or activities of your subproject in

comparison with the original project description in the application.

None.

9. Is the subproject team functioning sufficient, according to your own judgement.

Due to personal circumstances of AMU's participant, AMU's involvement was less intensive than

anticipated. This situation changed at the end of January 1999.

9. Do you receive sufficient information from other parts of the SCART project (other subprojects,

steering committee, SCART coordinator) in order to run your subproject well.

As a matter of fact one of the objectives of this subprojct is to provide the information referred to.

10. Do you have difficulties with the financial procedures.

No

11. Do you have difficulties with the available budget to achieve the objectives of your subproject.

For serious implementation of distance learning applications the budget is far from sufficient. As

1.5 Animation in Prague

Subproject Coordinator: Rene Lansink (HKU)

Financial Contact Person: Rene Lansink (HKU)

Participating institutions: HKU, Utrecht

AMU, Prague

SCART Interim Report 1 September 1998 - 15 february 1999, Page 13

1. What is the long term objective (three years or longer) of your subproject?

Joint development and implementation of educational modules in the field of animation and new

media.

2. What specific results did you aim to achieve in the first year of the project (= before 1 August

1999) and will you, according to your own judgement, succeed in this.

Develop new type of interactive multimedia art-work based on traditional art values in animation (the

strength of AMU), by students and staff of both institutions.

1) Prototype of disclosure of database as a multimedia product. Text-oriented database will be

provided with an interactive structure and visualisation of interface will be made.

2) Written concept of the total production

3. What is each participating institution in this subproject offering to the project activities (in terms

of expertise, people, facilities, information, organisation, traditions).

AMU, Prague: FAMU, Animation department, database animation; experts (teachers) of animation;

research material (animation); facilities (boarding, workspace, computers)

HKU, Utrecht: Faculty KMT Hilversum - prototype development, facilities, project oriented

educational model

4. Mention the project activities that took place between 1 September 1998 and 1 February 1999.

A visit of 2 teaching staff and 6 students from Utrecht to Prague was made. The aim of this visit

was to form an international project team with students, to work together for two weeks with

available material in Prague, to make agreements for the continuation of the project on two distant

locations. Contentwise the following three aspects has taken into account:

1) research history of animation

2) analysing available data / material

3) defining content

5. Mention the activities as planned between 1 February 1999 and 31 August 1999.

4) user interface

5) building prototype

6) written concept of whole production

7) creating website related to the project

8) storyboard production

9) shooting all material

The plans are to create a modest distant aducation tool for cooperation through the website.

Perhaps a second visit at the end of the academic year has te be paid.

6. Describe briefly your plans for 1999/2000 (and beyond).

The multimedia product will serve as a pilot for a much larger animation history disclosure project, in

which the Czech governement will participate. Dependent on these developments the SCART

project could play again a pilot or experimental role. The multimedia product could also be used as

educational tool for both institutions.

Continuation of comparable projects with attention to the present state of the art in animation in

year two and future possibilities of interaction within animation in year three are anticipated. The

website will play a role of invcreasing importance as tool for communication, cooperation and

distant learning and will be continuously developed according the needs.

7. Can you explain briefly how this subproject contributes to a structural cooperation between the

participating institutions.

The project joins the expertise of Utrecht new media facilities and expertse and project oriented

multidisciplinary education with the large traditional heritage of Czech animation and AMU's leading

SCART Interim Report 1 September 1998 - 15 february 1999, Page 14

position in Czech Republic (and beyond) in education in animation. The benefits are mutual and it

will take some years to develop the most effective way of structural cooperation.

8. Please describe major changes (if there are) in the objectives or activities of your subproject in

comparison with the original project description in the application.

As a result of developments in Prague the first year of the project has been more oriented on

creating a real multimedia product (as part of students study) than was anticipated.

Two visits had been planned, one to Prague and one to Utrecht/Hilversum. Due to strict

educational schedules in Prague it has not been possible for them for logitical reasons to plan their

visit to the Netherlands. This visit will now be cancelled (also in order to stay within the budget) or

a second visit will be paid to Prague which has the preference from the content point of view of

this type of "production" project.

9. Is the subproject team functioning sufficient, according to your own judgement.

Yes

10. Do you receive sufficient information from other parts of the SCART project (other

subprojects, steering committee, SCART coordinator) in order to run your subproject well.

Yes

11. Do you have difficulties with the financial procedures.

No

1.6 Curriculum development museology

Subproject Coordinator: Peter van Mensch, AHK

Financial Contact Person: Peter van Mensch, AHK

Participating institutions: AHK, Amsterdam

Masaryk University, Brno

The long term objective of this project is to develop a joint module in the field of Museology. Due

to administrative problems at the Czech side the subproject has not been able to start with their

activities in the reporting period. However a joint document on how to proceed in the remaining time

of the first project year (and beyond) has been made. It is expected the subproject will know its

delayed start soon.

Introduction

Brno and Amsterdam are two important centres of museological training, both with strong

international orientation, but each embedded in a different socio-political context. Both partners

could benefit from structural contacts because of these different contexts, whereas a lasting form

of co-operation will enhance the international orientation in the curricula.

A lectureship of museology was already established in Brno in 1922. Courses were given from 1922

to 1939, and from 1946 to 1948. A permanent department of museology at the Jan E. Purkinje

SCART Interim Report 1 September 1998 - 15 february 1999, Page 15

University (now Masaryk University) was created in 1962. An International Summer School of

Museology was started in 1987. This course is sponsored by UNESCO. In 1990 a UNESCO Chair

of Museology and World Heritage was established.

The Reinwardt Academie was founded in 1976. After having joined the Amsterdam School of the

Arts in 1987, the Academie moved from Leiden to Amsterdam in 1992. An international Master's

Degree Programme in Museology was started in 1994. This programme was awarded validation by

the Museum Training Institute in 1998.

Contacts between both institutions date from 1987. Lecturers from Brno have visited the

Reinwardt Academy and gave guest-lectures, whereas lecturers from the Reinwardt Academie visited

Brno and gave guest-lectures of the Chair of Museology as well as the International Summer

School.

Relevancy of the proposed project

The development and accelerating changes in the Czech society, the transition from totalitarianism

to democracy of the nation since 1990, and the process of globalisation reaching every type of

nation, prompts a thorough review of the curricula of each educational institution, the Museology

Department of the Masaryk University not excepted. A special situation at the moment is created

by the retirement of Dr. Z.Z. Stransky, director of the Museology Department and director of the

International Summer School of Museology.

All these events have raised the need to review and update the teaching programmes and methods

of the Czech Chair of Museology and the International Summer School of Museology, and to

reinforce the research projects of the UNESCO Chair in order to meet new demands of society at

large and the museum & heritage profession in particular.

The creation of the Master's Degree Programme of Museology at the Reinwardt Academie asked for

a new orientation towards social developments in different parts of the world and the role of

museums and other heritage institutions. As many students are coming from countries undergoing

different forms of transition from totalitarianism to democracy (such as South Africa,

Mozambique, Uganda, Argentina, Colombia), it was felt necessary to reflect upon proper

programmes and teaching methods.

Long term objectives

The aim of the project is twofold. On the one hand the aim is to establish and to develop the Brno-

Amsterdam link as structural core of a network of institutions, activities and persons exploring the

topics "museology, museums and universities in transitional societies" and "museology and

reconciliation". On the other hand the aim is to develop a better understanding of the creative use

of the heritage in the social mission of museums and all other heritage-related agencies in societies

undergoing deep social, political, economic and cultural change. As such the project is connected

with the UNESCO Chair's Transition Project ("Heritage, museology and museums for social, cultural

and environmental transition", approved by the UNESCO General Conference 1995).

It is evident that both aims are expected to generate new outlines and content of the curricula of

both partners.

Short term objectives

The first year of the project is necessary to make an inventory of the main problem areas, to decide

upon the priorities and to divide tasks.

SCART Interim Report 1 September 1998 - 15 february 1999, Page 16

What the partners could offer

Both partners will bring in their existing networks and contacts, as well as extensive libraries and

documentation. A special opportunity is provided by students in both programmes who can

contribute by carrying out research projects within the general frame-work of the SCART project. In

addition, both partners may - together or individually - organise conferences and publish papers.

The long-standing experience in training of both partners can be used to offer "tailor-made" courses

for professionals in the heritage field.

Activities

In connection what has been identified as short term objectives, one or two meetings of the co-

ordinators is necessary. An activity of the International Summer School of Museology is planned in

Brno during the first half of 1999. It will be arranged for Czech participants only. The presentation

of the SCART subproject in a well-prepared seminar, demonstrating also modern teaching methods,

should be a valuable contribution to this activity.

A meeting of the International Committee for Museology (of the International Council of Museums)

is proposed to take place in Czech Republic in 1999. If it will take place. The partners will present

the project before an international audience.

Possible obstacles

It is difficult to foresee special obstacles apart from such obvious problems as lack of funds and

lack of time. A special concern is the present lack of clarity as to the restructuration of the

"museology complex" at the Masaryk University (i.e. the Czech Chair of Museology, the

International Summer School of Museology, and the UNESCO Chair of Museology and the World

Heritage). It is expected that the situation will be more clear around August this year.

general and chamber music (a specific form of playing together in an ensemble) in particular.

SCART Interim Report 1 September 1998 - 15 february 1999, Page 17

2. What specific results did you aim to achieve in the first year of the project (= before 1 August

1999) and will you, according to your own judgement, succeed in this.

Exchange of experiences and information about curricula through cooperation projects in which

staff, students and ensembles are exchanged. Expectations are that the project runs as planned.

3. What is each participating institution in this subproject offering to the project activities (in terms

of expertise, people, facilities, information, organisation, traditions).

Each participation institution will bring in the most "appropriate" staff and students and its

concert halls and training facilities.

4. Mention the project activities that took place between 1 September 1998 and 1 February 1999.

Most of it is preparatory work for the exchanges that will happen after 1 February. Some preliminary

student exchanges occurred

5. Mention the activities as planned between 1 February 1999 and 31 August 1999.

a) Staff exchanges

- 1 staff exchange AMU -> AHK (string or piano or double bass)

- 1 staff exchange AHK -> AMU (Han de Vries, oboe, dates?)

- 1 staff exchange AMU -> HKU (M. Skampa, 25/4-2/5/99)

- 1 staff exchange HKU -> AMU (proposal: organ/cembalo, dates?)

b) Exchange of ensembles (appr. 4 students per ensemble)

- 1 ensemble NL -> CZ (AMU)*

- 1 ensemble CZ -> NL (Windquintett Brno -> Amsterdam)

* additional funding will be looked for (e.g. HKU-fonds, AHK-fonds), in order to make 2 ensembles

NL -> CZ (1 AHK -> AMU and 1 HKU -> AMU) possible.

c) Studentexchanges for participation in orchestra-projects (4 students in total):

- 1 student AMU -> AHK (double bass for Liberman -project, 24/2-9/3/99)

- 1 student HKU -> AMU (violin for project Belohlavek, 15-22/1/99)

6. Describe briefly your plans for 1999/2000 (and beyond).

Curriculum development is a matter of years. Activities will take place in a comparable way, with

possible modifications per field of study. Gradually, the new course component must be

interpreted more explicitly, and finally, must be implemented definitively in the regular curriculum in

the third year. Whether to invite structural lecturers of each other’s courses to take a seat on the

Board of Examiners as external experts will be considered.

7. Can you explain briefly how this subproject contributes to a structural cooperation between the

participating institutions.

The joint projects will create intense cooperation on educational level between all core members of

the SCART-members and provoke discussions on the content of the respective curriculla. The

result will be incorparated in each curriculum. It is therefor expected that the cooperation itself and

the results will be of a structural nature.

8. Please describe major changes (if there are) in the objectives or activities of your subproject in

comparison with the original project description in the application.

1.10 Curriculum development for mime through international co-productions

Subproject Coordinator: Jitka Lejdarova (HKU)

Financial Contact Person: Hans Klein Schiphorst (HKU)

Participating institutions: HKU, Utrecht

AHK, Amsterdam

AMU, Prague

1. What is the long term objective (three years or longer) of your subproject?

Mutual orientation on the curricula of the three participating institutions concerned: the mime

department in Amsterdam, non-verbal theatre department in Prague and the acting department in

Utrecht. This involves a thorough comparison of the three different approaches connected to the

three institutions: Decroux, Lecoq and the traditional Czech.

2. What specific results did you aim to achieve in the first year of the project

(= before 1 August 1999) and will you, according to your own judgement, succeed in this.

A visit has been brought to the department in Prague, during which talks were held and

performances watched. The original idea has to be reconsidered because of the early retirement of

Ctibor Turba at the department in Prague. Further orientation took place during the International

Festival of Theatre Schools in Brno.

3. What is each participating institution in this subproject offering to the project activities (in terms

of expertise, people, facilities, information, organisation, traditions).

Central issue is the comparison of the different approaches in Amsterdam, Utrecht and Prague.

Each institute has its own expertise in its own teaching. The strength of the project lies in the

possibility of comparing the three movement traditions.

Because of the above mentioned change the emphasis for the moment will be placed on student

exchanges.

4. Mention the project activities that took place between 1 September 1998 and 1 February 1999.

Date Activity

February 1999 Discussions in Prague and viewing of performances by both schools

5. Mention the activities as planned between 1 February 1999 and 31 August 1999.

Date Activity

June 1999 student exchange for workshop activities during Quadriennale in Prague

June 1999 student exchange for workshop activities during ITs festival in

Amsterdam

June 1999 staff visit from non-verbal department Prague to ITs festival

6. Decribe briefly your plans for 1999/2000 (and beyond).

Initially, a focus on student and staff mobility. In 1999 mainly to orient on each others curricula. In

the year 2000 teaching staff exchange will start in order to contribute to each others curriculum

development activities.

SCART Interim Report 1 September 1998 - 15 february 1999, Page 22

7. Can you explain briefly how this subproject contributes to a structural cooperation between the

participating institutions.

As foreseen the project will lead to the incorporation of the mutual expertise in each curriculum, and

the exchange activities will be continued as part of the regular education, possibly co-financed in

the future by European Commission schemes like Socrates.

8. Please describe major changes (if there are) in the objectives or activities of your subproject in

comparison with the original project description in the application.

Because of the unforseen early retirement of Ctibor Turba the original outline of the project has

changed. The first concern in Prague is to arrange a successor for Turba. The development of

modules will be considered again when this has become clear.

9. Is the subproject team functioning sufficient, according to your own judgement.

Yes.

10. Do you receive sufficient information from other parts of the SCART project (other

subprojects, steering committee, SCART coordinator) in order to run your subproject well.

Yes.

11. Do you have difficulties with the financial procedures.

No.

12. Do you have difficulties with the available budget to achieve the objectives of your subproject.

In the case of staff exchange there has to be taken into account that Prague teachers who are

working at AMU, Prague mostly as free-lancers and that they have to get payed for their exchange

to The Netherlands.

1.11 Drama education for the deaf

Subproject Coordinator: Rien Sprenger (HKU)

Financial Contact Person: Rien Sprenger (HKU)

Participating institutions: HKU, Utrecht

JAMU, Brno

1. What is the long term objective (three years or longer) of your subproject?

To exchange ideas and experiences concerning vocational training in Drama Education for the deaf

and to find ways to keep in contact in the future.

2. What specific results did you aim to achieve in the first year of the project

(= before 1 August 1999) and will you, according to your own judgement, succeed in this.

Knowing each other and the content and background of the curricula for Drama Education for the

deaf in Brno and Utrecht.

3. What is each participating institution in this subproject offering to the project activities (in terms

of expertise, people, facilities, information, organisation, traditions).

HKU: infrastructure for performance in Utrecht-Brno Twin City Festival and expertise in Drama for

the deaf from curricula some years ago.

SCART Interim Report 1 September 1998 - 15 february 1999, Page 23

JAMU: expertise in Drama Education fot the Deaf as a result of their unique department in this

field, production to be offered.

4. Mention the project activities that took place between 1 September 1998 and 1 February 1999.

Brno between Zoja Mikotová (Brno) and Rien Sprenger (Utrecht)

6. Decribe briefly your plans for 1999/2000 (and beyond).

As a result of this project and as a result of the increased contacts between the SCART

consortium members an investigation took place to the needs of a prolonged cooperation between

the SCART partners in the field of Drama education in general (including drama education for the

deaf). The Dutch partners have developed an extensive expertise in this field, which could be

relevant for the "export of knowledge". The Czech partners have explicitly expressed their interest in

the Dutch experience, referring to their use as guidelines of the English publication from the

Ministry of Education and Sciences on the subject of drama education (1983)! The Czech side in

their turn offered their experience in the more classic drama techniques. The investigators

concluded that sufficient synergy potential and mutual interests are present to justify a

broadening and prolongation of the existing project, in which at least all four core members of the

SCART consortium will participate. A detailed content proposal is being made at this moment.

7. Can you explain briefly how this subproject contributes to a structural cooperation between the

participating institutions.

Brno and Utrecht have developed special expertise in the field of drama education for the deaf.

These unique initiatives in Europe have to strengthen the development in sign language and theatre

for the deaf. The plans for the future of the project are geared towards mutual coordination of the

curriculum development processes, which is a structural approach to the cooperation of the

respective departments.

8. Please describe major changes (if there are) in the objectives or activities of your subproject in

comparison with the original project description in the application.

The major change was the decision of the City of Urecht to take care of the finances of the

performance of the JAMU-students in Utrecht. Only a very small part is paid for by SCART grant.

Contentwise there has not been major changes, apart from the initiatives for the future two year

described at point 6.

9. Is the subproject team functioning sufficient, according to your own judgement.

There were in the beginning problems with the communication, but they are solved in the meeting in

February 1999.

10. Do you receive sufficient information from other parts of the SCART project (other

subprojects, steering committee, SCART coordinator) in order to run your subproject well.

Yes

SCART Interim Report 1 September 1998 - 15 february 1999, Page 24

11. Do you have difficulties with the financial procedures.

No

12. Do you have difficulties with the available budget to achieve the objectives of your subproject.

The City of Utrecht took over the financial side of a large part of the costs related to this project.

a creative tool for the scenographer as well as a way of pre-productional presentation.

2. What specific results did you aim to achieve in the first year of the project (= before 1 August

1999) and will you, according to your own judgement, succeed in this.

Explore the possibilities of the computer as an additional creative tool for the scenographer.

3. What is each participating institution in this subproject offering to the project activities (in terms

of expertise, people, facilities, information, organisation, traditions).

All institutions: Scenographic expertise built on the tradition of each institution, providing feedback

for the students related to the limits given by theatre work, but at the same time stimulating

creative exploration and experiment.

AMU Prague: scenographic tradition, MOLAB technique, possible co-operation with FAMU.

HKU Utrecht: arts and media technology facilities, theatre design expertise.

SCART Interim Report 1 September 1998 - 15 february 1999, Page 25

6. Describe briefly your plans for 1999/2000 (and beyond).

During a three-week workshop, the same group that participates in 1999 will participate in a

discussion on their experiences. The possibilities and impossibilities of interactive communication

on an artistic product via the web will be addressed. In addition to practical training, in which the

technical aspects of interactive education will be refined, part of the workshop will be devoted to

establishing procedures, embedding the acquired experience in an educational module and making a

Scenographics module which, as of 2000, will be a permanent part of the Scenography/Theatre

Design course of all the higher learning institutions involved. Agreements on recognition will have

been implemented. Whether to include lecturers from each other’s courses as external experts in

the assessment committee or perhaps the Board of Examiners will also be considered.

7. Can you explain briefly how this subproject contributes to a structural cooperation between the

participating institutions.

The projects objective is to introduce new technologies and with it new educational methodology

into the existing curricula of the participating institutions. This will cause a structural effect to the

relationship between the partners and the content of the curricula itself.

8. Please describe major changes (if there are) in the objectives or activities of your subproject in

comparison with the original project description in the application.

Most significant change is the withdrawal of the Rietveld Academy from this project. See Chapter 6.

9. Is the subproject team functioning sufficient, according to your own judgement.

The participation from Groningen and Arnhem is more low key than expected. Efforts will be made to

involve them more in the project activities.

10. Do you receive sufficient information from other parts of the SCART project (other

subprojects, steering committee, SCART coordinator) in order to run your subproject well.

Yes

11. Do you have difficulties with the financial procedures.

No

12. Do you have difficulties with the available budget to achieve the objectives of your subproject.

For a solid implementation of the new technolgies into the curricula the available budget is far too

small. Combined effort in relation with subproject 3 "Information and distant learning" will only

partly solve this problem. Substantial investments (much more than 50% of the project budget)

from other, most internal funds, are needed to continue this subproject.

1.16 Student mobility and 1.17 Staff mobility

Subproject Coordinator: Wessel Meijer (HKU)

Financial Contact Person: Wessel Meijer (HKU)

Participating institutions: all SCART institutions

The objectives of these mobility projects are the exchange of educational and cultural experiences

by exchanging students (16 student mobility) and providing lectures by guest lecturers and carrying

out project management consultations (17 staff mobility).

SCART Interim Report 1 September 1998 - 15 february 1999, Page 30

In September procedures were set up on the use of the available grants in these two projects.

These procedures are incorporated as part of the Report of the SCART Conference (pages 28 - 30)

that is attached.

In the reporting period four students (2 CZ to NL, 2 NL to CZ) have studied abroad thanks to a

SCART grant. Two more students (both CZ to NL) have been awarded a SCART grant for the

remaining months in this academic year.

In the reporting period eight staff members (all NL to CZ, a lot of Czech staff visited NL during

conference with seperate funding) have visited institutions thanks to a SCART grant. This includes

the two steering committee meetings in October in Prague and February in Brno. Nine staff

members (2 NL to CZ, 7 CZ to NL) have been awarded a SCART grant for the remaining months in

this academic year. Encouraging is the relatively high participation in these mobility activities of the

institutions that are so far less involved in other SCART projects (AVU, VSUP, KAKB, Groningen,

Maastricht).

2. Administrative Implementation of the SCART Cooperation

Introduction

The main objective of the SCART-project is to increase the quality and international standing of art

education by establishing a structural cooperation between Dutch and Czech institutions for

higher art education within a period of three years. Structural cooperation can only be obtained with

the full committment and support of the administrative part of the institutions on top and middle

level. In the application the representatives of each core member of the SCART Consortium signed

a letter of intent in which they underlined the objective of the SCART-project and proposed

activities to achieve this objective.

Results

• Administrative involvement

The involvement of the top and middle administrative bodies of the SCART institutions has not

limited itself to the formal letter of intent. Rectors, rectorates, central boards and faculty boards

have been involved in the major decisions during the implementation proces of the activities. In

some SCART-subprojects there is a personal involvement of members of the faculty board level.

The Chairman of the Central Board of the coordinating institution of the SCART project, Bert

Groenemeijer, has delivered a personal welcome speech during the SCART-conference in which he

again underlined the importance of the objectives and activities of the SCART project. The Rector

of JAMU and the mayor of Brno participated actively in a discussion during the International

Festival of Theatre Schools in Brno about the significance of the SCART-project in the relations

between The Netherlands and The Czech Republic, concerning art and education. Bilateral

agreements between several SCART members are being signed or will be signed in the future,

agreeing on cooperation activities in the framework of the European Commission programme

Socrates.

• Rectors agreement

The strong administrative commitment has resulted in a formalized agreement between the four

core members of the SCART Consortium, underlining the importance of the project to the

institutions and reconfirming the commitment of each institution to achieve the project objectives.

The agreement was signed by the legal representatives of each institution in February 1999. A copy

is attached to this report.

• Steering Committee

The Steering Committee of the SCART Consortium plays an important role in the administrative

implementation of the SCART project. Each member of the steering committee is mandated by the

legal representative to act on behalf of the institution. The steering committee members belong to

the top level administration of the respective institutions and report on a regular basis to the legal

representatives.

• External administrative bodies

There are contacts with external administrative bodies that give the SCART project a more solid

administrative basis, also outside the participating institutions. The "Gemeente Utrecht" and the

City of Brno support the SCART project in the framework of their twin city arrangement. This

support is formalized by a letter of (former) mayor mr. I.W. Opstelten (attached with the application)

and put into practice by incorporating one subproject (11. Drama education for the deaf) in the

Brno-Utrecht Festival that took place in September 1998 and the participation of the mayor of Brno

in discussions during the International Festival of Theatre Schools in Brno in Februari 1999.

The Czech Embassy in The Hague and The Dutch Embassy in Prague expressed their interest in the

SCART project. The Czech Embassy supported the SCART Conference in October 1998 by putting

SCART Interim Report 1 September 1998 - 15 february 1999, Page 33

material of its Czech Centre at the disposal of the conference organizers and by the personal

participation of Second Secretary Jan Michal.

In January contact has been established with The European League of Institutes for Art Education

(ELIA), that represents the majority of the European institutes for higher art education. They

expressed interest in the project as probable role model for international cooperation on a national,

meta-institutional level. The SCART organisation will be invited to write an article about this topic in

the international ELIA magazine.

SCART Interim Report 1 September 1998 - 15 february 1999, Page 34

3. Organisational Implementation of the SCART Cooperation

Introduction

The project is characterized by a relatively large number (eleven) of participants and subprojects

(seventeen) each with a different subset of participants and each within different fields of study.

Activities in the subprojects are very different of nature and will take place at different locations in

the two different countries. In order to achieve an efficient and effective project management,

transparency is needed about organisational matters. One of the first activities was the

development and implementation of a project management structure.

Results

• Formalized organisational structure

After consultation the Steering Committee agreed to a proposal on the project management of

SCART. The following matters are arranged in this proposal: the organisational structure, the status

of the SCART institutions and the role, responsibilities and competences of the institutions, the

SCART steering committee, the project coordinator, the Subproject teams and some additional

coordinating positions. The complete desciption of the SCART Project Organisation is attached.

• First experiences

As a result of early decisions on the project management and targeted communication concerning

the organisational rules, no major organisational problems or conflicts arose during the starting

phase of the project. The only notable organisational obstacle is the delay in appointing

coordinators at some subprojects.

SCART Interim Report 1 September 1998 - 15 february 1999, Page 36

4. Implementation of the Student and Staff Mobility

Introduction

Staff and Student Mobility is seen as an important means to achieve the objective of the SCART

project. Mobility activities take place in most subprojects. Two subprojects (number 16 and 17) are

reserved for mobility activities alone. Since the reporting period concerns the early project months

only, relatively little mobility took place. More mobility is foreseen in the second half of the first

project year. You can find detailed information about mobility flows of all projects in the table on

next page.

Results Student Mobility

27 students (10 from CZ and 17 from NL) has travelled abroad as part of their study, within the

reporting period. The study abroad periods has met the expectations, academically and organisation

wise. In the second half of the first project year an additional 98 students are expected to travelled

abroad as part of their study. This figure includes a group of 40 students in one of the projects

whose costs will only marginnally be covered from the SCART grant. The student mobility has met

the expectations, academically and organisationwise.

Results Staff Mobility

34 staffmembers (19 from CZ and 15 from NL) has visited institutions in the partner country,

within the reporting period. An estimated additional 31 staff members (14 from CZ and 17 from NL)

is expected to do so in the second half of the first project year. These figures include the project

management meetings from the steering committee. The staff visits has met the expectations,

academically and organisationwise.

5. Dissemination of information

Introduction

The achievement of the project objectives depend very much on the dissemination of information

of the project activities and results. Most information exchange takes place on subprojectlevel.

Communication on SCART project level takes place and will take place on four ways: Day to day

communication between SCART coordinator, steering committee and the relevant institutions;

formal reports; the electronic SCART newsletter and in the near future the SCART website. This

chapter will report in more detail about the last three.

Results

• Reports

For monitoring reasons reports are made on all SCART activities. The reports provide the necessary

information to able to monitor the diffent quality aspects (content, planning, results, finances,

management) of the SCART activities. Up to 15 February 1999 the following reports came available:

- Steering Committee meeting report (10 October 1998)

- 17 subproject workshop reports (31 October 1998)

- SCART conference-report (14 December 1998)

- Interim financial report (10 February 1999)

- Steering Committee meeting report (13 February 1999)

- 17 subproject interim report (15 February 1999)

• Electronic SCART newsletter

Every two months an e-mail newsletter is distributed to all SCART participants and others

interested in the project. The newsletters communicate information about recent developments in

SCART, results of the subprojects and practical matters. Three newsletters have been distributed

so far. Print outs have been attached to this report.

• SCART website

Preparations are made to present a SCART website in April/May 1999. The website will provide all

kinds of information about the project. Participants of the project will use the site to get informed

about the latest details of their own subproject and to interact with their collaegues. Download and

link section will add practical functions. Distant education applications through internet will be

developed on separate sites, that will connected with the “homesite” of SCART.

6. Proposed activities in 1999/2000 and beyond

Introduction

The SCART project has the duration of three years and runs from 1 September 1998 up to 31

August 2001. Although we were only requested to report on the actual events up to 15 February

1999, we also would like to ask attention for the future developments and concrete activities the

SCART organisation anticipates at this moment. The basic principle in planning SCART’s future is

consolidation of its successful start and creating a more balanced set of art disciplines (read:

increased participation of visual art and design disciplines).

Continuation of existing subprojects

All subprojects (excluding one) have been set up as projects with a duration of more than one year.

Although the SCART-project has just started, its seems that all projects run as planned. This

means that all exisiting subproject (excluding one) will be continued according to the plans laid out

in the original application. The only exception is subproject 11 "Drama Education for the deaf" that

had a foreseen duration of one year. This project will be extended with two more years under a

changed title "Curriculum Development Drama Education". The adapted objective of this subproject

is to further develop the curricula of drama education courses by exchanging information, staff and

students. This decision was made by the steering committee after a proposal by the drama

education departments from Amsterdam, Utrecht, Prague and Brno. More detailed information

about this subproject can be found in chapter 1.11.

New subproject

We are happy to announce that the SCART-project will be extended with a new subproject in the

field of visual art and design. The subproject will for the first time seriously involve this field of

study in the cooperation between The Netherlands and The Czech Republic. The project also

implies the active participation of the well known Academy of Fine Arts (AVU) in Prague and the

inclusion of a new Dutch SCART-partner The Royal Academy of Visual Arts The Hague (KABK). These

developments very much add to the overall SCART objective. A description of this new subproject

is attached.

Former partner

The Rietveld Academy, who was mentioned in the SCART-proposal as participating institution in

subproject 12 "Scenographics", has decided not to participate in this SCART subproject. The main

reason for this decision is the non-involvement of the Rietveld academy in the first phase of the

development of the application text of the specific subproject and the subsequent

misunderstandings in the beginning of September 1998. From September 1998 up to December

1998 several attempts have been made by the coordinator of the subproject and the SCART-

organisation to regain the confidence of the coordinator of the Department of Scenography of the

Rietveld Academy in the motives, procedures and objectives of the SCART-project. Full involvement

and influence was offered in the development of the subproject concerned. Unfortunately these

attempts failed and in January 1999 the coordinator of the Department of Scenography of the

Rietveld Academy decided definitively not to participate in the first year of the subproject. The

Steering Committee informed the Rietveld Academy to respect this decision invited the coordinator

to reconsider their decision for the second and third year of the subproject.

New partner

As a result of dissemination of SCART information in The Netherlands and discussions at the ELIA

conference in Helsinki in November 1998, The Royal Academy of Visual Arts The Hague (Koninklijke

SCART Interim Report 1 September 1998 - 15 february 1999, Page 41

Academie voor Beeldende Kunsten Den Haag, KABK), requested to join the SCART project with a

cooperation project with the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague (AVU). The SCART Steering Committee

welcomed this request and invited KABK to send in a proposal for this new subproject and issued

a staff mobility grant to AVU in order to support the necessary preparatory activities. At 13

February 1999 the Steering Committee approved the new subproject and welcomed KABK as

member of the SCART Consortium as participating institution.

SCART Interim Report 1 September 1998 - 15 february 1999, Page 42

7. Financial Aspects

Introduction

The available budget of the SCART project is NLG 700.000, half of which is provided as grant from

the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Sciences and the other half as own contribution

from the partcipating institutions. Utrecht School of the Arts, in its position being financially

accountable, set up a financial project administration system, in which accountability and

encouragement of efficient and effective use of the available budget are the key words.

Attached is some documentation concerning this system.

Interim Financial Report September 1998 - 1 February 1999

A formal financial report concerning the SCART project will be published as part of the annual

financial report of Utrecht School of the Art. Although reporting on the finances of SCART was not

mentioned as one of the conditions for this interim report, we like to provide insight to the state

of the financial situation of the SCART project with the attached report. The report is compiled by

the SCART coordinator and its figures are based on the data from the accounting department and

an administration of staff time.

Budget Proposal 1999/2000

For planning reasons the Steering Committee has decided upon a provisional SCART budget

1999/2000. The final SCART budget 1999/2000 will be dependent on the decision on the (extent

of the) continuation of the financial support by the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and

Sciences. Since the ministry will base its decision to a large extent on the content of this interim

report, the provisional SCART budget 1999/2000 is mentioned here. We ask the ministry to treat

this budget as application budget. The budget is attached.

The steering committee requests the ministry with urgency to consider the option to provide the

SCART-project with a more substantial support compared with the first year. The following reasons

has led the steering committee to put forward this request:

1. The project is enlarged with one new subproject and one new partner (see chapter 6). This

decision is justified, since the initative adds very much to the overall objectives of the SCART

project and the objective of the ministeries scheme for financial support for consortia in

international cooperation in higher professional education. If however SCART’s expansion leads to

decreased budgets for the already exisiting activities, the effect of the new initiative will be counter

productive.

2. The SCART project is a project with A duration of three years. The first year has been and will be

dedicated to the initiating activities, and they seem to be successful. As a result of this, it

anticipated that the project will know its most intensive period during the second year. In other

words: SCART will be in “full swing” during 1999/2000. This peak in the project development cycle

will reflect itself in the project budget needs.

3. The SCART project is a relatively large project in which many resultful activities happen in its

seventeen (September 1999: eightteen) subprojects. The available budget proves to be a real

minimum for the current activities. The available budget is used in a very efficient and effective way.

Only a small part of the grant is spent on staff costs and none of it is spent on overhead costs.

No staff time or expertise has been bought in externally. A decrease of the grant will seriously

endanger the possibilities for a succesful continuation of SCART.

SCART Interim Report 1 September 1998 - 15 february 1999, Page 43

4. At 1 February 1999 the investments of the participating institutions, the own contribution, has

been 150% of the awarded grant wheras the intended percentage was 100%. Although the

institutions commitment for the SCART project is large, internal discussion arose if it would be

better justifiable to decrease the institutions financial involvement to the still substantial 100%

level.

SCART Interim Report 1 September 1998 - 15 february 1999, Page 44

Procedures for SCART student mobility in subproject 16

framework of the other subprojects. All institutions (core members and participating institutes) can

apply for grants from this budget according to the following rules.

Conditions for approval

1. The student is registered as student at one of the ten SCART institutions.

2. The host institution is one of the ten SCART institutions (or an organisation/company in case

abroad period.

4. The minimum period of stay is one month, maximum period of stay is ten months.

5. The study abroad period forms an integral part of the study at the home institution and will be

fully recognized by the home institution.

6. A report must be made within two weeks after the study abroad period.

7. Grants will only be awarded if the student receives no other grant (e.g. a Socrates grant).

8. The SCART Financial Rules apply, which also provide the rules for the calculation of the SCART

grant.

Priority criteria for approval (in order of priority)

1. Students whose study abroad period concerns a field of study or department that has not yet

been involved in the SCART-project.

2. Students whose study abroad period clearly adds to the structural nature of the cooperation,

but is not already part of one of the other existing subprojects.

3. Students whose study abroad period is directly related with the management of the SCART

project (e.g. an art management student assisting in one of the subprojects).

4. Students from institutions that have received more students than they have send.

5. Students from institutions that have send less than avarage number of students.

6. Students whose study abroad period is related to one of the existing other subprojects.

7. Students who apply early.

Application procedure

1. The home institution and host institution (or work placement organisation) agree on the terms

of the study abroad period.

The budgets for 1999/2000 will be decided upon in June 1999. More detailed budget plans for

each subproject have been provided by the project coordinator to support the project teams.

These budget plans are indicative only and can be used as an example.

Who is responsible for what

The projectteams are responsible for the expenditures within each subproject. The financial

coordinator of the projectteam should therefor approve all claims that will be covered from the

budget concerned

The central project coordinator in Utrecht is responsible for checking all claims if they comply with

the financial rules. His major concerns will be the eligibility of the costs, the correctness of

calculations and prevention of overspending the budgets. He is also responsible for setting up the

financial procedures, distributing forms and dissemination of financial information.

The steering committee is final responsible for the approval of the budgets, the approval of the

financial rules and procedures and approval of financial reports. The steering committee is

competent to make alterations in the available budgets if this serves the overall quality of the

project. In case the financial rules does not clearify the eligibility of certain claimed costs the

steering committee is competent to make a decision on this point.

Which type of costs can be claimed

The following conditions always apply:

1. Only costs which are directly necessary to the achievement of the objective of the (sub-)project

can be covered by project grant.

2. Only costs that can be proven by receipts, tickets or other written proof can be covered by the

grant.

3. Only costs that fall within the approved budget limits can be covered by the grant.

4. Costs that are already covered by other sources cannot be covered by the grant.

5. In case these rules does not clearify the eligibility of certain costs the steering committee

decides, taken conditions of the grant issuing body into account.

How to calculate the costs

Please note that a selection procedure applies for staff mobility in subproject 17.

1. International travel expenses

Always the cheapest way for travel should be used. This will usually be economy class/APEX flights

that includes a Saturday night. Business class and First class flights will not be covered. Only

actual costs will be covered. If a car will be used a maximum applies of NLG 0,60 per kilometer per

car with a maximum of the costs of one flight during the same period.

2. Accommodation expenses

The sum of accommodation expenses and other living expenses may not exceed NLG 300 per day in

the Netherlands and NLG 350 in Czech Republic.

costs.

The conditions and figures in the Socrates student mobility scheme is used as model

Please note that a selection procedure applies for student mobility in subproject 16.

9. Overhead costs

Overhead costs are costs made by institutions that are hard to specify or break down because of

interference with regular office costs. It includes use of buildings, use of electricity and gas, use of

regular administrative support, telecommunication, photocopying, postage costs and stationary.

The total overhead costs are estimated as fixed percentage of about 8% of the total budget.

The overhead costs are already included in the overall budget (heading 19) as own contribution of

the institutions to the project. Overhead costs cannot be claimed in subprojects.

How to claim costs

General rules

1. Claims should preferably be made by institutions. In exceptional cases individiuals can claim

directly as well.

2. The financial coordinator of a subproject is responsible for the expenditures made in the

subproject. Therefor the coordinator of a subproject must approve every claim of the subproject

concerned.

3. The central project coordinator is responsible for checking the claims for eligibility and correct

calculation and to prevent overspending the budgets. All claims should be sent (after approval

by financial subproject coordinator) to him.

4. Only costs that will be claimed from the grant will apply to these rules. Do not include own

contributions in your claims.

The procedure

If a staff member plans to make expenses in the framework of the SCART project the following

steps should be followed.

1. Request for permission from financial coordinator of the subproject to incur expenses in the

subproject budget.

2. If you need a personal advance, ask your institute about the possibilities.

3. Execute your activity and make costs.

4. Claim your costs from the financial SCART contact person at your institute. Include all proofs of

your costs, because costs without proof cannot be reimbursed.

5. Financial contactperson at your institute fills in the form for reimbursement and signs it.

6. Financial contactperson at your institute sends the form for reimbursement to the

central SCART project coordinator in Utrecht.

7. Central SCART project coordinator in Utrecht checks the reimbursement form, takes care for

formal approval from the financial coordinator of subproject and will arrange the money transfer or

administrative deduction from the institutional advance.

Money transfers from The Netherlands to The Czech Republic take about three to four weeks.

Advance payments

Institutions can request for an advance payment of expenses that will be claimed from individual

staff members from the institution. The request should be done in writing by the institutional

financial SCART contact person and send or faxed to the SCART project coordinator.

Advances will be registered seperately and are formally treated as a debt from the institution

concerned to the grantholder of the project, Utrecht School of the Arts. Institutions remain

responsible for claiming all expenses according to the procedures and rules as descibed in this

document. Advances that will not be covered with approved claims must be paid back.

What about the own contribution

One of the conditions of the Dutch Ministry of Education that issued the grant, is that the

institutions make an own financial contribution of 50% of the project budget.

We will be able to justify this own contribution in a merely administrative matter. We plan to do this

in two ways:

1. by means of the overhead costs

2. by carefully counting all the hours staff is spending to the project. The majority of these hours

will not be claimed and could therefor be used to justify the own contribution.

for example: time spent during start conference, a large percentage of coordination time, a large

percentage of staff time spent abroad in the subprojects.

To prove that these hours have been spent to the project we need statements about this. We will

issue statement forms to each subproject coordinator for this reason.

1. THIS FIRST NEWSLETTERThe SCART Newsletter is the first result of subproject 3 on information . Thenewsletter aims at informing the SCART-participants (and others who are interested)about the recent developments in the SCART-project. It will be send by e-mail aboutonce in the two months, of more often if interesting developments happen. This firstnewsletter is the first issue and must be seen as a try-out. It contains mainlyinformation from the project coordinator. The idea is however, that the futurenewsletters will contain your contributions as well. Please read the text under heading10 "Your contribution to the newsletter". Remarks and suggestion about the newsletterare very much welcome, contact the SCART Coordinator.

2. CONFERENCE REPORTThe first SCART Conference that took place from 21 to 25 October in Utrecht was asuccess. 17 representatives from AMU in Prague and JAMU in Brno, together withabout the same number of Dutch art school representatives partcipated in the speeches,discussions, workshops and cultural programme.The teams of the sub-projects worked very hard to plan their activities in detail andbudget them. Contacts have been established and friendships made. A much moredetailed report (with pictures!) will be ready at the end of this year and distributed as a

special newsletter edition by e-mail and as hard copy to all conference participants andothers who are involved in the SCART-project.

3. MESSAGE TO TEAM COORDINATORSWe received some questions from team coordinators whether they could start with theiractivities. The answer is YES! You have made your plans for this year, and a budget isavailable. Although we are still processing the information from the conference, you donot have to wait for approval of your plans or budget. The only conditions are that allactivities are agreed upon within your team and that you follow the financial rules.Please do not wait and start with your activities.

4. BUDGET INCREASE?Some teams send in requests for an enlargement of their budget. All requests will betaken into serious consideration by the steering committee. Please keep in mind that thebudget increase of one project automatically implicates a budget decrease of the budgetof another project. Therefor the room for budget increases will be very limited. Westrongly advise you to make your core project activities independent of your requestedbudget increase. We hope to be able to reply on your requests in January 1999.

5. DEADLINE SCART MOBILITY FUNDS NOW 4 DECEMBERAs you probably know there are two subprojects solely aimed at supporting studentand staff mobility outside one of the other sub-projects (subproject 16 and 17). Thephilosophy of these "mobility funds" is to encourage institutes, departments and fieldsof study that are still underrepresented in the SCART-project to join the projectquickly with small scale mobility activities, for example preparatory visits. Detailedinformation about the grants, criteria, priorities and application procedures have beenpresented and distributed on paper during the conference in October in Utrecht. Pleasecontact the SCART-coordinator if you need additional copies. Please note that the firstdeadline for sending in applications for grants from the mobility funds has been changeddue to the late issue of this newsletter. The new deadline is 4 December 1998.

6. SCART IN 1999/2000Although we have just started the first year of the SCART-project, we already have tothink now about the next years. As you know the duration of the SCART-project isthree years, but the funding by the Dutch government is arranged on a yearly basis. Inthe spring we have to report briefly on the academic year 1998/1999 and reapply for theyear 1999/2000. In the beginning of the next year we will inform you in more detailabout the procedural side of this re-application. But please start discussing your futureplans in your teams now. Especially institutes, departments and fields of study that arestill underrepresented in the SCART-project but are interested in participation in thefuture with new subprojects are asked to start defining their plans and activities now.Please contact the SCART-coordinator for support.

7. SOCRATES AND SCARTFrom the point of view of funding, the SCART-project and the Socrates-programma areseperate things. However it could very well be possible that overlaps in activities orobjectives will occur, especially in the mobility activities. This is not a problem, on thecontrary! The European Commission who is responsible for funding the Socrates-programme as well as the Dutch Government, who is responsible for funding theSCART project both encourage the involvement of other programmes in the activities. It

will be seen as enrichment in the content and as proof for the committment andcontinuity potential of the cooperation activities. Both programmes encourage "co-funding", this means activities funded by more than one organisation. The only thingthat is of course not allowed is double funding of the same activity. If overlaps arise orif you like to discuss this topic in more detail please contact the SCART-coordinator.

8. TEMPUS AND SCARTSome of the existing SCART projects also meet the criteria of the TEMPUS-programme. This year is the last year that it will be possible to apply for TEMPUS-grants from the European Commission (deadline 27 January 1999 for the year1999/2000). Both the TEMPUS-programme as the SCART-project encourage theinvolvement of "co-funding" bodies to make projects stronger and more durable. Pleasekeep in mind that you will need at least one more partner institute from the EuropeanUnion in a Tempus-project. More information about Tempus can be obtained from theNational Tempus Office in The Netherlands and Czech Republic or the TEMPUSwebsite. If you like to discuss this topic in more detail please contact the SCART-coordinator.

9. SCART-WEBSITEThe Computer Centre of AMU in Prague and The Utrecht Schoolof the Arts areworking at the structure and design of a SCART website. The idea of the website is firstto present of the project as a whole and every subproject seperately. Also it willcontain information about and links to the participating institutions and topics on arteducation in The Netherlands and Czech Republic. Furthermore documents will be madeavailable and an archive of newsletters will be set up. We also hope to add some moreinteractive aspects to the website, like discussion groups, through which staff andstudents can work on their projects through the internet. We hope to have the firstversion of the website on the net somewhere in March 1999. We keep you informed.

10. YOUR CONTRIBUTON TO THE NEWSLETTERWe would very much like that this newsletter will become a active platform for thepresentation of your project-activities, a place where you can promote your ideas, shareyour thoughts and start discussions. Also think about the possibilities to inform yourcolleagues about events that will take place and have some relation with the project. Wevery much need your help to achieve this. Please send in everything you like to includein the newsletter: dates of events, short news about your project, news about yourdepartment or institution. Send your contributions to the SCART Coordinator:wessel.meijer@central.hku.nl.

1. INTERIM REPORT 1998/1999At the end of February 1999 the SCART Interim Report 1998/1999 was sent to theDutch Ministry of Education. The report contains information on the results of theSCART project until 15 February and gives some insight in the future plans of theSCART project. This report will play a crucial role in the Ministries decision tocontinue the financial support to the SCART-project. All SCART participants receiveda hard copy of the report. Attached is a digital copy.

2. STEERING COMMITTEE MEETING 13 FEBRUARYOn Saturday 13 February 1999, during the Festival of Theatre Schools "Encounter" inBrno, the SCART Steering Committee met at the Rektorat of JAMU. The state of theart of all subprojects have been discussed, as well as the SCART project as a whole.Also management topics and finances have been evaluated and future plans discussed.The overall conclusion was that the SCART activities run as planned. The steeringcommittee approved the interim report, the interim financial evaluation, they approvedthe request of Royal Academy of Visual Arts The Hague to join the SCARTConsortium (see at 3.) and with this a new subproject in the field of Fine Arts (see at4.). The decision whether there will be a next SCART Conference was postponed untilthere is certainty about the financial support in the next academic year. Minutes of themeeting can be obtained from the SCART Coordinator.

3. NEW SCART PARTNER: ROYAL ACADEMY OF VISUAL ARTS THEHAGUEThe SCART Steering Committee unanimously welcomed the Royal Academy of VisualArts The Hague as new SCART partner at their meeting of 13 February. The"Koninklijke Academie voor Beeldende Kunsten Den Haag (KABK)" is a wellestablished academy in the Netherlands. The participation of KABK will enrich theconsortium and provides opportunities for new projects in fields that have beenunderrepresented so far.The major role of the new SCART Consortium partner will be the preparation andexecution of a new subproject in the field of fine art together with The Academy of FineArt (AVU) in Prague with whom they maintain relations for some years now. Apartfrom this subproject they will be fully eligible to make use of the two mobility fundsand profit from the common subprojects like quality assurance, information anddistance learning etc.

4. NEW SCART PROJECTThe new SCART partner Royal Academy of Visual Arts The Hague (KABK) and TheAcademy of Fine Art in Prague (AVU) proposed a new subproject starting in1999/2000 in the field of Fine Arts. The title of the project is "Art in relation with thelandscape". A mixed group of 8 fine art students and 2 staff members from KABK andAVU (and perhaps other schools) will work together in an intensive site-specific projectin a typical Dutch landscape, the flat "polder" Flevoland, researching the relationbetween the landscape and the process of creating art. This idea will be repeated later inthe year in a typical Czech landscape at Dobrs Castle at the border of Sumava NationalPark. The results of both projects will be presented in a joint exposition and a brochure.The Steering Committee approved the proposal. If support from the Dutch Ministrywill be provided, SCART will have its 18th subproject, and the first one in the field offine arts. A detailed description of the project can be found in the interim report (hardcopy version only).

5. SCART 1999/2000The Dutch Ministry of Education is now studying on the possibilities to continue theirfinancial support to the SCART project. We believe that the interim report we sent theministry, provides affluent arguments to do so. We expect a decision before the end ofApril. As soon as the decision will be made public an extra edition of the SCARTnewsletter will be issued. So, empty e-mail box at the end of April frequently. In June asteering committee meeting is planned to decide, among other things, on the budgets ofeach of the subprojects and to decide whether a next SCART conference will take place.

6. SCART 2000/2001The uncertainty if the grant scheme of the Dutch Ministry of Education also applies forthe academic year 2000/2001 is cleared now: a representative of the ministry informedus that it will be possible for SCART to apply for financial support also in the year2000/2001. This means that the changes are increased significantly that the SCARTproject will have its anticipated duration of three years. Please note: whether SCARTwill get the financial support in 2000/2001 is of course very much dependent from thesuccess of our reapplications. And this is on its turn very much dependent if we are ableto achieve significant results within our subprojects in the coming year!

7. RESULT LAST STAFF MOBILITY ROUNDAt 1 March 1999 the deadline of the last SCART staff mobility (subproject 17)application procedure of this year expired. Only one application was received, from TheRoyal Academy for Visual Arts The Hague for a visit to AVU, Prague to prepare theirnew subproject in 1999/2000 (see at 4.). The steering committee approved theapplication.

8. PICTURES, MOVIES AND SOUNDS WANTEDIf you have pictures, movies or sounds available (digital or otherwise) that concernsSCART, please send them to us (address below). After a selection we will try topublish them on the SCART website that will be on the net at the end ofApril/beginning of May. So please take your camera with you if you are on a SCART-mission and make an extra copy when you print your pictures. We will anyway storethe pictures in the SCART Archives for future reference.

9. NEWS FROM THE SUBPROJECTSSubproject 3: Hardware and software has recently been selected and will soon be boughtand installed for the first experiment in distance education in SCART. The field of studyin which this experiment takes place is Scenography. The presentation of a seperateinternetsite related with this experiment will take place at the end of March.Subproject 4: One case study in art management, used in the art management curriculumof Utrecht has been adapted and translated into English and Czech.

The decision to provide the grant is taken by the steering committee after advise ofthe SCART coordinator.b. The amount of the grant is a fixed sum, dependent on the number of month thestudent is studying abroad. The sum corresponds to the Socrates grant. In the financialrules a list is provided.c. Utrecht transfers 100% of the grant to the institution concerned (after receiving theform of reimbursement)d. The institution pays the student the grant in they way they prefer.

Sympathy is expressed to his relatives, friends, the theatrecommunity in Brno and the Czech Republic, and staff and students of JAMU.

2. SCART SEMINAR 10 -12 SEPTEMBER IN PRAGUEThe SCART Steering Committee decided during their last meeting to organizea SCART seminar in Prague from 10 to 12 September. One representative ofeach SCART-subproject will be invited to participate. The main objective ofthe seminar is to prepare the future activities on the basis of theevaluation of last years results. Also possibilities will be explored toachieve synergy between the different projects. Invitations has been mailedtoday.

3. STILL NO NEWS ON GRANT 1999/2000The results of the reapplication of the SCART project has been postponedagain and are now to be expected mid July. Since the SCART Office is closedfrom Mid July until the beginning of August, it is unpredictable if we willbe able to inform you in July.

4. STEERING COMMITTEE MEETING IN AMSTERDAMOn Friday 25 June the steering committee met in Amsterdam, during the ITsfestival. Decisions were made on next year budgets, the SCART seminar, anincreasement of the SCART student grants. Also all subprojects,organisational and financial matters were evaluated. Special guest was Mr.Letteboer from the Dutch Ministry of Education, responsible for theConsortium Programme. The steering group invited him to exchangeinformation about the SCART project and the motives of the ministry forfunding the SCART project. His attendance was very much appreciated.

1. DELAYED BUT EXTRA IMPORTANT NEWSLETTERDue to circumstances the delivery of this SCART Newsletter has beendelayed. This was not due to lack of news as you will notice reading thisnewsletter. To prevent overkill of information, a selection of news ismade. Please check the website for more detailed news and information(http://scart.hku.nl)

2. BUDGET FOR 1999/2000As was very shortly mentioned in Newsletter 8 the reapplication of theSCART project was approved. The financial commitment from the Dutchministry is NLG 250.000 (last year NLG 350.000). The steering committee hasdecided on the distribution of the grant over the subprojects at theirmeeting during the seminar in Prague last september. This decision tookinto account the past performance of 1998/1999.In addition to the awarded grant some reserves from the first project yearhas become available. The exact sum of these reserves has unfortunately notyet been established due to technical reasons (see 5). The approximateamount of the reservation is NLG 40.000 which make it possible for SCART tocontinue with its activities.

3. ADDITIONAL BUDGET FOR PERIOD FEBRUARY - SEPTEMBER 2000At the end of 1999 we received the very good news that the SCART-project isentitled to receive an additional NLG 60.000 for the running project year.This positive news was unfortunately the result of low performance of otherprojects in the same support programme from the Dutch ministry out of whichSCART receives its funds. Thanks to the good results in the first projectyear of SCART the Dutch ministry of Education trusts that the additionalgrant will be well spent in the SCART project. The SCART Steering Committeewill decide on the budgetting of the additional grant on 5 February 2000,when they meet for their fifth meeting in Utrecht. To assure an effectiveuse of the additional grants all subproject coordinator have been asked toforward proposals to the steering committee, clearly indicating the addedvalue of their proposal. Proposals leading to additional concrete outcomes,preferrably in the form of physical products for dissemination (booklet,catalogue, CD-ROM, website, music CD etc) will be especially welcomed. Anewsletter in mid February will inform you about the results.

4. INTERIM REPORT/REAPPLICATION 2000/2001 DEADLINE CLOSEThe Dutch Ministry of Education expects from the steering committee aninterim report on the results of the SCART project in the year 1999/2000.On the basis of this report the ministry will decide on the continuation ofthe financial support of last year of the project. All subprojectcoordinators have been requested to send in their subproject report before15 February 2000. These subproject reports will be integrated into theoverall interim report.

5. FINALISING FINANCES 1998/1999Due to a delay in receiving several claims and also due to some technicalproblems it has not yet been possible to close the first project yearfinancially. However, this is expected before the end of January. Thedetermination of the exact reserves of the first project year andconsequently the exact available budgets of this year will be done at thebeginning of February at the same time as the additional grant (see 3) willbe distributed. We apologize for the delay in providing the exact figures,however we are glad that the end result will be significantly better thaneverybody expected.

6. RESULTS OF PROJECTS WITH CONDITIONAL APPROVALDue to the relative low performance in 1998/1999 and due to insufficientinformation three subproject had been approved grants for 1999/2000 underthe condition that a more sound plan should be submitted before 15 November1999. One project (10 curriculum development for mime...) did not provideinformation and is therefor cancelled. Its budget will be redistribiuted.One new project (11. Curriculum development drama education) did providesufficient information and received final approval. The third project (14.Theatre and Anthropology) had met such specific circumstances (the last

minute cancelling of a conference in Brno due to an severe illness anddeath of the key persons) that was decided to postpone the final decisionto the steering committee meeting of 5 February.

7. STATE OF THE ART SUBPROJECTSGiven the length of this newsletter this item will be brief. One lowperformance project has been cancelled and one is still in the danger zone(see 6). The two new subprojects (11. Drama education and 20. Fine arts)seem to perform well as do the 16 other prolonged projects. More specificinformation will become available within a couple of weeks when we receivethe interim reports from the coordinators of all subprojects. But thegeneral picture is that SCART is running according to its plan.

DESTINATION CZECH REPUBLICVisitors have been pouring in and revelling in the accessibility of this top touristdestination since things changed with a thump in 1989. Veteran travellers, meanwhile,are often heard lamenting about no longer having Prague to themselves. But the CzechRepublic is still all things to all people. While Prague shakes with excitement, almosteverything outside this astonishing city is still off the beaten tourist track and unspoiled.Who could complain?

EnvironmentAdjoining Austria, Germany, Poland and the Slovak Republic, the Czech Republicconsists of Bohemia in the west and Moravia in the east. Within Moravia is a small

southern part of the historical region called Silesia, the rest of which is in present-dayPoland. Prague, the capital of both the Czech Republic and Bohemia, sits astride the

Vltava River about 30km above its junction with the Labe River. The Czech Republichas a beautiful and diverse landscape with plenty of mountains, gentle highlands,

lowlands, caves, canyons, broad fields, bogs, lakes, ponds and dams. Unfortunately, thefurther north you go, the worse the appalling air pollution and high-altitude acid-rain

damage gets, the belated pay-back for unregulated industrialisation since the 19thcentury.

Despite centuries of clear-cutting for cultivation, forests still cover about one-third of theCzech Republic. Most remaining virgin forest is in uncultivatable mountain areas.

Above the tree line (about 1400m) there is little but grasses, shrubs and lichens. Therichest wildlife are bears, wolves, lynxes and other wildcats, marmots, otters, marten and

mink. Pheasants, partridges, ducks, wild geese and other game birds are common inwoods and marshes, and commonly hunted. Eagles, vultures, osprey, storks, bustards

and grouse are rarer.

The damp continental climate over most of the Czech Republic is responsible for warm,showery summers; cold, snowy winters; and generally changeable conditions. July is the

hottest month everywhere, January the coldest. From December through February,temperatures push below freezing even in the lowlands, and are bitter in the mountains.There is no real 'dry season', and the long, sunny hot spells of summer tend to be brokenby sudden, heavy thunderstorms. Winter brings 40 to 100 days of snow on the ground

(about 130 in the mountains), plus fog in the lowlands.

HistoryThe arrival of the Slavs in the 5th and 6th centuries saw the beginning of the Czechs'chequered history. Its tribes adopted Christianity and united in the short-lived Great

Moravian Empire (830-906), which came to include western Slovakia, Bohemia, Silesia,and parts of eastern Germany, south-eastern Poland and northern Hungary. Towards the

end of the 9th century, the Czechs seceded to form the independent state of Bohemia.

Prague Castle was founded in the 870s by Prince Borivoj as the main seat of the Premysldynasty, though the Premysls failed to unite the squabbling Czech tribes until 993. In950, the German King Otto I conquered Bohemia and incorporated it into his Holy R

Objective: Co-operation within the opposite types oflandscape experience on two specific sites.Long-term curriculum development

< Description

Project Flevopolder. The Netherlands.The idea is to do an intensive site-specific project about art in thepublic space and the influence of the artist on the landscape. Title 'Theshaped landscape'. In the Netherlands is every square centimeter of soiltouched and shaped by the human hand. As a working-area we suggestthe 'Flevopolder'; regained land from the sea. On this site are also quitea few pieces of art for public space: Robert Morris' observatorium, aradioprogram of singing angels as a guidance along the artificial dikesby Moniek Toebosch, a cathedral of trees by Marinus Boezem etc.

A group of eight students from both the academies under theauspiecien of two lecturers from the Netherlands and two lecturersfrom the Czech Republic will work on this site. The periode will be thespring of the year 2000, because of the weatherconditions.Thiseighteen students will follow a program of study, we will organize aseries of presentation/ talks by well-know artists about thier work inpublic space. The students work on the site with a shovel, or with another tool, and make a piece of art in a restricted area, the landscape.

Material will be provided and if nessecery we will hire machines. Nextto that we would like to rent two small busses for each nine persons, totravel through Holland and visit sites of interrest, musea andexhibitions.

Project Dobrs Castle, Czech Republic.In the Czech Republic is the project as follows: The Bobrs Castle isnot only 'some' place on the border of the Sumava National Park but itis also a former Central Europe's primeval forest complexity as a verydeep witness to a metamorphose of the historical landscape there. Wewill not ask ourselves any deep artistic questions, but ratherconcentrate on a personalresonances between beaver instincts andman, living in the landscape. It will be a very hard work concisting ofwandering, traveling, taking paths leading nowhere. We will lookaround the beautifull places from another point of view, as well as atour apparent skills.

Other elements that will be part of the workshop:- Various ways of experiencing one's body and 'tasting' aspects of thesurrounding landscape, (focusing on specific parts of the body, blindwork, walking backwards etc.)- Mental topography of a location, myth, archaic mind and geniusloci.)- History of the Sumava Park as a model of one's self: layers, verticalconnnections, labyrinths, joy and mechaloncholy.- Colours / structures / textures.- Processual experiences.- Enhancing the general and haptic sensitivity.- Material-sound space relations, site-specific acoustic qualities.

Description project

The conference is a means of assembling as many of the involvedparties from all the institutions as possible.Firstly, this has an organisational objective. The organisational andcontent-related detailing of the subprojects will be worked on bymeans of alternating plenary meetings and workshop-style meetings.Arrangements will also have to be made with regard to the operation ofthe control group. Naturally, the conference will take the application asits point of departure, but it will try to maintain flexibility with regardto changed (financial) circumstances and recent developments. Theagreements made during this conference are to be recorded in aNetherlands-Czech Republic overview, which will act as the 'leitmotiv'during the entire project period.The conference must also be emphatically motivating. Gathering thoseinvolved, working in teams from the start and especially the informalgetting acquainted with people will have a motivating effect which isnecessary for this type of project. That is why, in addition to the"organisational" programme, there will be a great deal of attention paidto cultural and social events. The time and the place have been chosenin such a way that there is cohesion with Subproject 11 (Dramaeducation for the deaf) and the cultural exchange in the context of thetwins towns Utrecht - Brno.

1999/2000 and further:In principle, the initial conference is a one-off. The organisation willstrive to hold an annual meeting where a large number of thoseinvolved meet simultaneously. However, for financial reasons it willbe smaller.

<Interim report 15 Februari 1999

The objective of the conference was: Composing the project teams,making operational agreements on all SCART-projects, makingagreements on mutual harmonisation via the steering committee andmotivating the participants. The conference took place from 21 to 25October 1999 and evaluations show that it was successful. TheSCART-project objectives have been achieved.

1. Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht2. Akademie Múzickych Umení v Praze3. Janáckovy Akademie Múzickych Umení vBrne,4. Amsterdamse Hogeschool voor de Kunsten

Coordinator: Marion Beltman (HKU)Place: UtrechtTime: second half of the 1998/1999 academic yearObjective: Setting up and executing training route for

quality control within art education in aninternational context.

< Description

There is great interest, both in the Netherlands and in the CzechRepublic, in the development (and maintenance) of methods toguarantee the quality of the education. An important instrument formeasuring the quality of education is the quality of the "end products"of the students. In art education this "measurement" is inevitablysubject to individual and culturally determined subjectivity.Efforts from within art education in the field of quality control are anecessity in connection with the increasing demand for internationalcomparatives of the courses on offer, the necessity of furtherinternational mutual recognition of education and internationalharmonisation with regard to the definitions of study performance.Within this subproject, an English-language training course will bedeveloped and executed with quality control as its theme. The targetgroup of the training is managers and management personnel of the arteducation institutions in the Netherlands and the Czech Republic. Wehave a group of approximately 10 people in mind. Subjects that will bedealt with are: measuring results, education development, validationand accreditation processes, the role of the manager, the role of thelecturer. The Czech background of the majority of the participants will

Training in Quality Control

http://scart.hku.nl/project2.html (1 of 6) [31.1.2000 20:23:32]

specifically be taken into account.The experience the HKU gained during their internal managementtraining in the field of quality control, coordinated by Twijnstra &Gudde, will partly be used for the development of the training. Thisalso applies to the AHK's expertise in the field of internationalbenchmarking of aspects of professional art education in aninternational context (including Central and Eastern Europe). Attentionwill be paid to research into the method of inviting internationallecturers to sit on each other's Board of Examiners as external experts,which is - in principle - suitable for art education. The interest for theDutch institutions lies in the comparison between the situation in theCzech Republic and that in the Netherlands, in more detailed attentionto and making explicit the quality control within the institution andfinally the further acquisition of expertise with regard to this point forany possible future internal and external training activities.

Description

Information plays a crucial role in this project. To do justice to thisinterest, the presentation and dissemination of information has beenclassed as a separate subproject. The intention is that a website bedeveloped for this project on the HKU server (with the help of thecomputer centre and students of the Faculty of Art, Media &Technology).

This website has two types of application:1. distance learning (tele-learning, distance education): a number ofsubprojects have included the development of projects for distancelearning as an objective. Think, for example, of discussions on eachotherÕs work and interactive writing and designing. Digital knowledgebanks can be created for the sectors of the courses concerned. Thesubprojects in which this application will be used have included this intheir description.2. project information: each subproject is to be given its own pagewhich presents the project and reports (by means of text, photographsand films) on the progress of the project. Links to content-related sitesare to be added. Here too, discussion will be possible. Space could alsobe included for management information with regard to the project.Planning, budgets, minutes, etc.3. information on (education) in the Netherlands and the CzechRepublic: Due to the growing amount of information concerning theproject, a point will be reached where the nature and objective of thepage will have to be adapted. By adding information from othercooperative projects with the Czech Republic and a good catalogue ofexternal links, the website can, in due course, expand into a generalDutch information point on educational cooperation between theNetherlands and the Czech Republic in general.Furthermore, information will be disseminated via traditional means,an annual newsletter. This newsletter has Dutch and Czech art studentsand lecturers including those from universities of professionaleducation that are not participating in the project as its main targetgroup.

1. Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht2. Akademie Múzickych Umení v Praze3. Janáckovy Akademie Múzickych Umení vBrne, Brno4. Amsterdamse Hogeschool voor de Kunsten

Place: Utrecht, Amsterdam, Prague and BrnoTime: academic year 1998/1999Coordinator: Meine Fernhout (AHK)Objective: Adapting and expanding the Dutch and Czech

curricula for art management based on WesternEuropean and Eastern European experience andinsights.

<Description project

International recognition is growing for the fact that art and culturalproducts are of increasing interest in social and economic traffic. Theexpectation is that the economic market share of "creative products"and the level of "creativity" in regular products will increase. Thisdevelopment requires anticipation from (international) art educationand appeals to the management skills of the future artist.

In the Netherlands, the HKU and the AHK offer internationallyoriented, modular and practically oriented courses in the respectiveareas of art management and cultural operational management. A highdemand exists for these courses, both in the Netherlands and abroad.Over the last five years, the Centre for Art and Media Management, anHKU expertise centre for contract activities in the field of art andmedia management, carried out a number of projects in Central andEastern European countries. The knowledge and experience acquiredwill be tested in the educational situation in the Czech Republic and

then contributed to the SCART-project. The AMU in Prague and theJAMU in Brno are the only institutions in Eastern Europe to offercourses in this field, with the emphasis on the performing arts. Withinthe schools there is extensive expertise on the Eastern Europeancultural situation in general, and the Czech situation in particular. Inaddition, there is more experience than in the Netherlands with regardto the use of the institution's own lecturers and students in the othereducation and quality care processes of the institution itself.The aim of this SCART-project is to enrich the Dutch courses with theCzech experiences and contacts and vice versa. In time, theSCART-project can contribute to an increase in the enrolment offee-paying Eastern European students.

The emphasis in the first year will be on becoming thoroughlyacquainted with each other's curriculum by means of student and staffexchanges and the organisation of a workshop on the role ofmanagement in international art education.

The emphasis of the student exchange will be on practical,professional practice oriented activities because these do most justiceto the cultural exchange and provide the most opportunities to benefitfrom each other's strengths.

The emphasis of the staff exchange will be on giving guest lecturesand content-related discussions. The needs of the guest institution and,naturally, the strengths of the guest lecturer will be central to selectingthe subject of the guest lecture.

The workshop will be devoted to the role that art management can andshould fulfill in art education. The intention is to exchange experience,knowledge and views, whereby the experiences of the staff and studentexchanges play a key role. The results will be made available throughthe website (see SCART-project 3). The future substantive cooperationwill be discussed following this more analytically oriented part of theworkshop. This should lead to concrete agreements on the jointprovision of (possibly modified) modules. The joint provision of other(post-graduate) education to an Eastern European target group willalso be addressed.

educational modules in the field of animationand new media.

<Description

The Czech Republic, and Prague in particular, is the European almamater of (classic) film animation. The animations from Prague's Trinkastudios, with which both the HKU and AMU maintain contact, areinternationally renowned. Utrecht also has a reputation to uphold in thefield of film animation (for example, student films on the VARA-quizTwee voor Twaalf). Utrecht's strengths include modern mediaapplications and the conceptual approach to the product.Each year, this subproject will include two combined seminars, one inUtrecht and one in Prague. A seminar is a student project which lastsfor approximately 2 months, in which one lecturer and four studentsfrom each institution work together on a single product. The group isphysically together at one of the locations for one to two weeks. Therest of the time, communication takes place by means of email and theInternet (through the website, see Subproject 3), a form of distancelearning.In the first year, the seminars will be projects mutually recognised forcredits by both institutions. The intention is to develop and describe

Animation in Prague

this educational model to such an extent within three years that bothpartners include it as a regular educational module in the curriculum.This module will include specific attention to cooperation withcompanies such as the Trinka studios to promote the connection to the(international) labour market and possibly create a market for thestudent products.Research will be carried out after the first year to determine whetherthe NFTA, part of the AHK, can join in this initiative.

Content of seminars in the first yearIn 1998/1999, an interactive storyboard will be worked on, with thecontent-related theme derived from a theatre production. This willinclude working on scenic image sequences, both in Hilversum and inPrague. The medium is the web. Collages of images, texts, animations,etc.The first seminar will include hands-on training (2D and 3Danimations/VRML, quick-time films on websites) so that the techniquecan be mastered and a story in images can be built up. The contact ofthe first seminar - possibly in parallel with the theatre production - willwork on certain realistic scene images (dioramas), developing lightdesigns and certain stage settings. The two design groups will betrained to interact.

Content of seminars in 1999/2000 and beyondThe second year will provide an integration of image structure incombination with theatre designs, stage settings, etc. The website canthen also be used by theatre groups with up-to-date information,diaries, chats, etc.Further expansion of the site will focus on the addition of sound,dialogues in the various languages, audio and visual translations,music and sound, etc. The theme of the website will be updated in thethird year with new additions, associations, paraphrases. The materialthen added will be culled from mass culture and will be associatedwith an assignment. Training will take place in the field ofcommunication on differences in cultural intuition.The objective is to create a usable and versatile means, with anappealing use of images, text, sound and music as a strategic tool forthe project that can be used by all participants. A culturally layeredmeans of communication to have during the course of the project inwhich image makers respond to theatrical data.

<Description

Since the upheaval in 1989, the museums of the Czech Republic havebeen in a process of transformation. Not a single aspect of museumoperations has escaped a fundamental reconsideration. The MuseumStudies course at Masaryk University and the Museum Course at theReinwardt Academie, part of the AHK, have been working togetherincidentally for some time. The fundamental transformation process isof great interest to the Reinwardt Academie from an educationalstandpoint, and the Reinwardt Academie's (Western oriented) expertiseis of interest to Masaryk University. The intention is to combine thetwo strengths to jointly develop the Museology module.

The emphasis of the first year will be on becoming thoroughlyacquainted with each otherÕs curriculum by means of staff exchangeand joint participation in a Museology Summer School. The emphasisof the staff exchange will be on giving guest lectures andcontent-related discussions. The needs of the guest institution and,naturally, the strengths of the guest lecturer will be central to selectingthe subject of the guest lecture.The Summer School will be devoted to the role that museologyeducation should fulfil in the situation in Central and Eastern Europein general, and in the Czech Republic in particular. The intention isthat experiences, knowledge and views are exchanged, with

experiences acquired through the staff and student exchanges playing akey role. The results will be made available through the website (seeSubproject 3). The future substantive cooperation will be discussedfollowing this more analytically oriented part of the workshop. Thisshould lead to concrete agreements on the content of the new moduleto be developed.The long term objective of this project is to develop a joint module inthe field of Museology. Due to administrative problems at the Czechside the SCART-project has not been able to start with their activitiesin the reporting period. However a joint document on how to proceedin the remaining time of the first project year (and beyond) has beenmade. It is expected the SCART-project will know its delayed startsoon.

<Interim report 15 Februari 1999IntroductionBrno and Amsterdam are two important centres of museologicaltraining, both with strong international orientation, but each embeddedin a different socio-political context. Both partners could benefit fromstructural contacts because of these different contexts, whereas alasting form of co-operation will enhance the international orientationin the curricula.

A lectureship of museology was already established in Brno in 1922.Courses were given from 1922 to 1939, and from 1946 to 1948. Apermanent department of museology at the Jan E. Purkinje University(now Masaryk University) was created in 1962. An InternationalSummer School of Museology was started in 1987. This course issponsored by UNESCO. In 1990 a UNESCO Chair of Museology andWorld Heritage was established.

The Reinwardt Academie was founded in 1976. After having joinedthe Amsterdam School of the Arts in 1987, the Academie moved fromLeiden to Amsterdam in 1992. An international Master's DegreeProgramme in Museology was started in 1994. This programme wasawarded validation by the Museum Training Institute in 1998.

Contacts between both institutions date from 1987. Lecturers fromBrno have visited the Reinwardt Academy and gave guest-lectures,whereas lecturers from the Reinwardt Academie visited Brno and gaveguest-lectures of the Chair of Museology as well as the InternationalSummer School.

Relevancy of the proposed projectThe development and accelerating changes in the Czech society, the

transition from totalitarianism to democracy of the nation since 1990,and the process of globalisation reaching every type of nation, promptsa thorough review of the curricula of each educational institution, theMuseology Department of the Masaryk University not excepted. Aspecial situation at the moment is created by the retirement of Dr. Z.Z.Stransky, director of the Museology Department and director of theInternational Summer School of Museology.

All these events have raised the need to review and update the teachingprogrammes and methods of the Czech Chair of Museology and theInternational Summer School of Museology, and to reinforce theresearch projects of the UNESCO Chair in order to meet new demandsof society at large and the museum & heritage profession in particular.

The creation of the Master's Degree Programme of Museology at theReinwardt Academie asked for a new orientation towards socialdevelopments in different parts of the world and the role of museumsand other heritage institutions. As many students are coming fromcountries undergoing different forms of transition from totalitarianismto democracy (such as South Africa, Mozambique, Uganda, Argentina,Colombia), it was felt necessary to reflect upon proper programmesand teaching methods.

Long term objectivesThe aim of the project is twofold. On the one hand the aim is toestablish and to develop the Brno-Amsterdam link as structural core ofa network of institutions, activities and persons exploring the topics"museology, museums and universities in transitional societies" and"museology and reconciliation". On the other hand the aim is todevelop a better understanding of the creative use of the heritage in thesocial mission of museums and all other heritage-related agencies insocieties undergoing deep social, political, economic and culturalchange. As such the project is connected with the UNESCO Chair'sTransition Project ("Heritage, museology and museums for social,cultural and environmental transition", approved by the UNESCOGeneral Conference 1995).

It is evident that both aims are expected to generate new outlines andcontent of the curricula of both partners.

Short term objectivesThe first year of the project is necessary to make an inventory of themain problem areas, to decide upon the priorities and to divide tasks.

What the partners could offerBoth partners will bring in their existing networks and contacts, as wellas extensive libraries and documentation. A special opportunity is

Curriculum Development Museology

http://scart.hku.nl/project6.html (3 of 4) [31.1.2000 20:24:37]

provided by students in both programmes who can contribute bycarrying out research projects within the general frame-work of theSCART project. In addition, both partners may - together orindividually - organise conferences and publish papers. Thelong-standing experience in training of both partners can be used tooffer "tailor-made" courses for professionals in the heritage field.

ActivitiesIn connection what has been identified as short term objectives, one ortwo meetings of the co-ordinators is necessary. An activity of theInternational Summer School of Museology is planned in Brno duringthe first half of 1999. It will be arranged for Czech participants only.The presentation of the SCART SCART-project in a well-preparedseminar, demonstrating also modern teaching methods, should be avaluable contribution to this activity.

A meeting of the International Committee for Museology (of theInternational Council of Museums) is proposed to take place in CzechRepublic in 1999. If it will take place. The partners will present theproject before an international audience.

Possible obstaclesIt is difficult to foresee special obstacles apart from such obviousproblems as lack of funds and lack of time. A special concern is thepresent lack of clarity as to the restructuration of the "museologycomplex" at the Masaryk University (i.e. the Czech Chair ofMuseology, the International Summer School of Museology, and theUNESCO Chair of Museology and the World Heritage). It is expectedthat the situation will be more clear around August this year.

component for playing together in an ensemblein general and chamber music (a specific formof playing together in an ensemble) inparticular.

<Description

In comparison with the Czech Republic, the Netherlands has a muchless developed tradition of chamber music: top-level Dutch chambermusic ensembles are rare and often consist of foreign musicians. Incomparison: the Music Academy in Prague has 12 chamber musicensembles, which play at top international level and have beeneducated within the strong chamber music tradition of the PragueMusic Academy.There is a direct relationship between the lack of Dutch chamber musicensembles and the less developed tradition in the education of chambermusic at Dutch conservatoires. The fact that institutions for higherprofessional music education are assessed on the extent of activities inthe field of chamber music also comes into play. The role thatdemonstrable ensemble activities play for aspiring foreign musicstudents in selecting an institution should not be underestimated. Thus,stimulation of an ensemble culture increases the appeal of higherprofessional music education in the Netherlands for foreign students(increasingly self-financed). The Dutch conservatoires wish to use this

Ensemble in Prague

http://scart.hku.nl/project7.html (1 of 4) [31.1.2000 20:24:50]

subproject to profit from the know-how present in the Czech chambermusic tradition.

Chamber music is an essential part of the course of an instrumentalmusic student, particularly in the subjects piano and stringedinstruments. In chamber music, students learn how to deal with suchmatters as playing together, listening to others, intonation, articulationand phrasing; each of which are of the utmost importance in everyinstrumental music student's course. Practical experience is alsogained: the student must be able to cooperate intensively in chambermusic ensembles with colleagues, which is something he/she mustcontinue to do throughout his/her professional life. In this way, theproject specifically increases the quality of later performances by thestudents.Practising chamber music also gives the student the opportunity tobecome acquainted with a unique and rich part of Western classicalmusic culture.

The first yearAs throughout the entire project, curriculum development will play akey role in 1998/1999. Student exchanges, staff mobility and guestlecturers will be grouped around this.Student exchanges: Prague lecturers, with an international reputationin this field of study, will give students short, extremely intensivecourses in small ensembles of no more than 6 people. Staff trips:Dutch lecturers will be given the task to research teaching methods forchamber music and their incorporation in the existing curricula of anumber of specific fields of study (stringed instruments and piano).Czech lecturers will act as guest lecturers and form an important partof this project: their visits to the Netherlands will be an importantimpulse to chamber music culture at the conservatoires. Guest lecturerswill also be closely involved in curriculum development.

1999/2000 and beyondCurriculum development is a matter of years. Activities will take placein a comparable way, with possible modifications per field of study.Gradually, the new course component must be interpreted moreexplicitly, and finally, must be implemented definitively in the regularcurriculum in the third year. Whether to invite structural lecturers ofeach other's courses to take a seat on the Board of Examiners asexternal experts will be considered.

Dutch-Czech Student Concerts

http://scart.hku.nl/project8.html (1 of 4) [31.1.2000 20:25:00]

On the other hand, the Czech Republic has a long and rich tradition inthe field of playing in ensembles. To illustrate: the Music Academy inPrague has 12 chamber music ensembles, all of which play at topinternational level and have been educated within the institution'sstrong chamber music tradition. The Dutch conservatoires wish to usethis subproject to profit from the know-how in the Czech chambermusic tradition and simultaneously let students become acquaintedwith international performance in a pedagogical and artistically soundmanner.

The intention is to organise two concerts, one in the Netherlands andone in the Czech Republic. These concerts will be given by 2 studentensembles, one from the Netherlands and one from the CzechRepublic. This will involve two string quartets (string quartet: 4musicians, 2 violins, 1 viola and 1 violoncello). Both ensembles willpractice and perform compositions from the country visited: the Dutchensemble performing a Czech composition and the Czech ensembleperforming a Dutch one, so that the cultural exchange aspect isexpressed to the fullest.In addition, both string quartets will be combined to form oneensemble, an octet (8 musicians), in the second part of the concertprogramme.The joint performance of this composition will raise this project to ahigher level. It is our experience that "normal" exchange concerts, inwhich groups of students visit an affiliated conservatoire where theyperform a concert, are sometimes a somewhat superficial form ofinternationalisation. Thanks to the programming of theabove-mentioned octet, the students are given a real opportunity towork together and obtain direct knowledge on differences in playingstyle, musical approaches and the level in general. Students can thencompare their own performance and test it against that of the visitingstudents: this frequently has a positive effect on their level of play.This aspect will significantly increase the pedagogical level of theproject. It has also been our experience that when music students aregiven the opportunity to work together, the exchange of both musicaland cultural experiences is much more intense.

The concert programme will be established in mutual consultation. Allcompositions will be practised by the students under the supervision oftwo lecturers, one from the Netherlands and one from the CzechRepublic. Both lecturers will be specialised in the field of chambermusic. The Dutch ensemble will be given lessons by a Czech lecturer,and the Czech ensemble by a Dutch lecturer, so that students can get intouch with as many new musical approaches and views as possible.The joint ensemble (the octet) will also be taught by both lecturers.While in Utrecht and Amsterdam, the Czech students will also have

Dutch-Czech Student Concerts

http://scart.hku.nl/project8.html (2 of 4) [31.1.2000 20:25:00]

the opportunity to take individual lessons from lecturers from theFaculty of Music.

Finally, a joint performance offers good opportunities for activitieswhich can provide impressions of educational and culturalrelationships between the Netherlands and the Czech Republic ingeneral and the Dutch - Czech cooperative programme for arteducation in particular.

1999/2000 and beyond:Depending on the experience, the concerts will also be held thefollowing year and included as a regular part of the curriculum in theform of an educational module.

Description

The 'Department of Alternative and Puppet Theatre' in Prague offerscourses based on a broad perspective of theatre studies. The oldpedagogical tradition of puppet theatre education is followed on theone hand, while on the other hand, new movement techniques from theavant-garde theatre and a move towards 'open theatre' are beingdeveloped in Prague. Thus, this combination not only offers training ingeneral theatre techniques, but also stimulates the development ofartistic forms of expression by means of objects. The programmeemphasises illusion, non-traditional stage settings, precision of styleand the opportunity to develop performances.This professional course for the puppet theatre in Prague wasestablished after the war and was the first of its kind in Europe. Insetting up its puppetry curriculum, Utrecht can benefit from theexpertise acquired in Prague in the last decades.

The 'Department of Alternative and Puppet Theatre' consists of threesections: a theoretical section, a creative/artistic section and aperformance section. The head of the department is theatre makerJosef Krofta and the senior lecturer is Markéta Schartová. Lecturersfrom Utrecht and Amsterdam met them and their colleagues duringinternational theatre festivals in Europe. The possibility of using thePrague expertise to develop new educational modules in Utrecht hasalready been discussed several times. This project would be the start.

The following educational modules will be developed collectively in1998/1999:- making and performing with dolls and objects- making and performing with masks- a laboratory for studying movement in relation to scenography(Lecoq approach)- alternative theatre scenography

In order to deepen curriculum development for the puppetry course forboth of the institutions involved, a three-week workshop will be heldin Utrecht. Lecturers from Prague and Utrecht will participate in thisworkshop. Josef Krofta or Markéta Schartová will be invited askeynote speaker. The results of this gathering will be used for thedevelopment of a puppetry module and agreements on mutualrecognition.

1999/2000 and beyondThe three-week workshop will be used as part of the basis for layingout the development of a modular puppetry route. This educational

Puppetry Curriculum Development

route will be further refined in 1999/2000 by applying the modules inthe courses of both of the participating higher educational institutions.Whether to include lecturers from each other's courses in theassessment commission or perhaps the Board of Examiners will alsobe considered. Lecturers from Prague and Utrecht will study therelationship between puppetry and film animation in a secondthree-week workshop.

SustainabilityIn view of the fact that the project will lead to the development ofpuppetry modules for both of the higher educational institutionsinvolved, as a result of which these modules will become a fixed partof the course curriculum, the project will be included in the regularbudget for the course in question.

educational module and a non-verbal theatreand animation module for the courses inUtrecht and Amsterdam, which involves acontent-related addition and deepening of thecurrent courses, by co-production in this field.

<Description

The 'Department of Non-Verbal Acting' is the newest pedagogical andartistic centre within the HAMU in Prague. Although it wasestablished in 1992, the specialism existed earlier. Initially, it was oneof the subjects within the dance course and became a separate courseafter 1980. Until then, it was primarily concerned with classical mime,the founder and Senior Lecturer being the famous Czech mimelecturer, Ladislav Fialka. His work was taken over by Ctibor Turba,who introduced a broader concept of non-verbal theatre and the comicgenre. The techniques of mime and expression through movement arestudied during the course, and because there are few performances inthis field, it is primarily dedicated to developing original creativeworks.

Curriculum Development for Mime

http://scart.hku.nl/project10.html (1 of 4) [31.1.2000 20:25:22]

The Mime Course in Amsterdam is strongly influenced by the 'mimecorporel' tradition of Etienne Decroux, while movement education ofthe Utrecht School of Acting is inspired by the actor training of theFrench theatre educator Jacques Lecoq. With a view to a broad andinternationally oriented usefulness in professional practice, it isimportant from the perspective of the three above-mentionedapproaches to realise a practical exchange in the form ofco-productions and the development of joint educational modules.

Establishment of a joint co-production on mime comedy, to be held inJanuary 1999 in Amsterdam. Lecturers of the three courses involvedwill each contribute their own orientation or approach: namely, theDecroux approach for Amsterdam, the Leqoc approach for Utrecht andthe Czech tradition of movement theatre for Prague. Further detailingof this data will lead to a module on mime comedy. Ctibor Turba willbe invited as keynote speaker.

1999/2000 and beyondA second module will be developed in 1999/2000 on the relationshipbetween non-verbal acting and animation, in combination with a viewtowards expanding the future professional practice. This workshop willtake place in January 2000 in Utrecht

SustainabilityIn view of the fact that the project will lead to the development ofmodules in the field of mime comedy and 'the relationship betweennon-verbal acting and film animation', as a result of which thesemodules will become a fixed part of the course curriculum, the projectwill be included in the regular budget for the course in question.

talks were held and performances watched. The original idea has to bereconsidered because of the early retirement of Ctibor Turba at thedepartment in Prague. Further orientation took place during theInternational Festival of Theatre Schools in Brno.

3. What is each participating institution in this SCART-projectoffering to the project activities (in terms of expertise, people,facilities, information, organisation, traditions).Central issue is the comparison of the different approaches inAmsterdam, Utrecht and Prague. Each institute has its own expertise inits own teaching. The strength of the project lies in the possibility ofcomparing the three movement traditions. Because of the abovementioned change the emphasis for the moment will be placed onstudent exchanges.

4. Mention the project activities that took place between 1September 1998 and 1 February 1999.Date ActivityFebruary'99

Discussions in Prague and viewing of performances byboth schools

5. Mention the activities as planned between 1 February 1999 and31 August 1999.Date ActivityJune '99 student exchange for workshop activities during

Quadriennale in PragueJune '99 student exchange for workshop activities during ITs festival

in AmsterdamJune '99 staff visit from non-verbal department Prague to ITs festival

6. Decribe briefly your plans for 1999/2000 (and beyond).Initially, a focus on student and staff mobility. In 1999 mainly to orienton each others curricula. In the year 2000 teaching staff exchange willstart in order to contribute to each others curriculum developmentactivities.

7. Can you explain briefly how this SCART-project contributes toa structural cooperation between the participating institutions.As foreseen the project will lead to the incorporation of the mutualexpertise in each curriculum, and the exchange activities will becontinued as part of the regular education, possibly co-financed in thefuture by European Commission schemes like Socrates.

8. Please describe major changes (if there are) in the objectives or

activities of your SCART-project in comparison with the originalproject description in the application.Because of the unforseen early retirement of Ctibor Turba the originaloutline of the project has changed. The first concern in Prague is toarrange a successor for Turba. The development of modules will beconsidered again when this has become clear.

9. Is the SCART-project team functioning sufficient, according toyour own judgement.Yes.

10. Do you receive sufficient information from other parts of theSCART project (other SCART-projects, steering committee,SCART coordinator) in order to run your SCART-project well.Yes.

11. Do you have difficulties with the financial procedures.No.

12. Do you have difficulties with the available budget to achievethe objectives of your SCART-project.In the case of staff exchange there has to be taken into account thatPrague teachers who are working at AMU, Prague mostly asfree-lancers and that they have to get payed for their exchange to TheNetherlands.

AchtergrondDe afdeling 'drama educatie voor doven' werd in 1992 opgericht aan deakademie te Brno, en vormt daarmee een unieke opleiding in Europa.Voorstellingen gemaakt door studenten en docenten van dezeopleiding hebben op Tsjechische en Europese theater festivals almenige prijs gewonnen. De voorstellingen die ze maken blinken uit inschoonheid en kwaliteit, en zijn bedoeld voor zowel volwassenen alskinderen.In het doven onderwijs wordt veel aandacht besteedt aan deontwikkeling van bewegingstechnieken, en beoefend in onderwerpenals bewegingsleer, moderne en klassieke dans, tap-dansen, mime enjongleren.Het belangrijkste onderdeel van de studie is bewegingstheater, de

studenten leren met name mime en geheimen van theater die principeshanteert van totaal communicatie. De beweging en visuele artisticiteitwordt geaccentueerd door technieken uit de kunst, het werken metmaskers, poppen etc. De studenten praktizeren ook psychologischezelfontdekking, ontspanningsoefeningen, logopedie, gebarentaal,vreemde talen en werken met de computer. De theoretische disciplines(kunst en theatergeschiedenis, pedagogiek, psychologie, hygiÏne)worden geleerd via de gesproken taal terwijl er simultaan ingebarentaal vertaald wordt. De studenten hebben de beschikking overgeschreven collegedictaten van de docenten. Een gebarentaal docent isop alle door de school georganiseerde activiteiten aanwezig.Binnen de opleiding voor drama educatie in Utrecht is een aantal jarengeleden een specifiek studietraject voor doven ontwikkeld waar eendrietal dove drama-docenten zijn afgestudeerd. Dit initiatief was uniekin het Nederlands theater onderwijs.In het kader van deskundigheidsbevordering waren er destijdscontacten met een kunstvakopleiding voor doven in de USA. Pogingenom binnen Europa tot uitwisseling van expertise te komen op ditgebied liepen destijds op niets uit. In het kader van het meertoegankelijk maken van kunstonderwijs voor studenten met eenhandicap is het van groot belang dat de ervaringskennis van Brno enUtrecht bijeen gebracht wordt en overdraagbaar gemaakt voor derden.

BeschrijvingDe bedoeling is door een aantal activiteiten een uitdieping te bereikenvan het specifieke onderwerp drama educatie voor doven in relatie totde theatertraining middels bewegingstechnieken. De resultaten uit deactiviteiten worden meegenomen in het Nederlands theateronderwijsen zullen leiden tot een nieuwe toepasbaarheid en verdieping van hetonderwerp. Middels het vastleggen van de voorstellingen en deoefeningen op beeldmateriaal, door studenten van de faculteit kunst,media & technologie van de HKU, kan de opgedane ervaring dienenals leerstof na afloop van de conferentie.

Voorgenomen activiteit is een ontmoeting tussen Utrecht en Brno inSeptember 1998 in Utrecht.a. Presentatie van de voorstelling door de studenten van Dramaeducatie voor Doven 'Genesis', waarmee ze in het laatsteTheaterscholen Festival in Brno een prijs wonnen.b. Post-graduate voorstelling 'Lieve' van de Utrechtse theateropleidingvoor een publiek van 10 jaar en ouder, met behulp van gebarentaaltoegankelijk gemaakt voor doven, door een horende afgestudeerde vande Opleiding voor het Docentschap Drama.c.

6. Decribe briefly your plans for 1999/2000 (and beyond).As a result of this project and as a result of the increased contactsbetween the SCART consortium members an investigation took placeto the needs of a prolonged cooperation between the SCART partnersin the field of Drama education in general (including drama educationfor the deaf). The Dutch partners have developed an extensiveexpertise in this field, which could be relevant for the "export ofknowledge". The Czech partners have explicitly expressed theirinterest in the Dutch experience, referring to their use as guidelines ofthe English publication from the Ministry of Education and Scienceson the subject of drama education (1983)! The Czech side in their turnoffered their experience in the more classic drama techniques. Theinvestigators concluded that sufficient synergy potential and mutualinterests are present to justify a broadening and prolongation of theexisting project, in which at least all four core members of the SCARTconsortium will participate. A detailed content proposal is being madeat this moment.

7. Can you explain briefly how this SCART-project contributes toa structural cooperation between the participating institutions.Brno and Utrecht have developed special expertise in the field ofdrama education for the deaf. These unique initiatives in Europe haveto strengthen the development in sign language and theatre for thedeaf. The plans for the future of the project are geared towards mutualcoordination of the curriculum development processes, which is astructural approach to the cooperation of the respective departments.

8. Please describe major changes (if there are) in the objectives oractivities of your SCART-project in comparison with the originalproject description in the application.The major change was the decision of the City of Urecht to take careof the finances of the performance of the JAMU-students in Utrecht.Only a very small part is paid for by SCART grant. Contentwise therehas not been major changes, apart from the initiatives for the futuretwo year described at point 6.

9. Is the SCART-project team functioning sufficient, according toyour own judgement.There were in the beginning problems with the communication, butthey are solved in the meeting in February 1999.

Description

BackgroundThe Quadrennial will take place in June 1999 in Prague. This onlyworld exhibition in the field of theatre design and technical theatre,will be an important meeting place for both the professional world andeducation. The student part of the Quadrennial will be organised andsupervised by the education commission of the OISTAT (OrganisationInternational des Scénographes Technicien et Architects du ThéÈtre).Previously, the OISTAT had its seat in Prague, however, recently theSecretariat was moved to Amsterdam and works in close cooperationwith the AHK.

The Amsterdam and Utrecht theatre design courses wish to make ajoint presentation at the event with two other Dutch theatre designcourses (Maastricht and Groningen) on the theme of the exhibition 'thetheatre maker as designer'. Dutch theatre design education will positionitself at a world exhibition in this way, with a direct relationship beingmade between the relationship 'course - student - and professionalpractice'. Students from the Art Management course at the AHK willmake a management contribution.In addition to the activities of the Quadrennial, a group will be formedconsisting of students and lecturers from the above-mentionededucational institutions who will work on the development of a newcurriculum for 'Scenographics'.Theatre Design students and lecturers will use distance learning tointeractively discuss and comment on each other's work in a reservoirof knowledge specifically designed for this purpose on the project'sweb-page (see subproject 3). This reservoir of knowledge is accessibleto students and lecturers of the Theatre Design courses in question inthe Netherlands and the Czech Republic.

DescriptionBefore the start of the development of the 'Scenographics' educationalmodule, Scenography and Theatre Design lecturers will meet at theFaculty of Art, Media & Technology of the HKU in Hilversum. In athree-week workshop, they will explore the limits of the technologytogether with Interaction Design and Image and Media Technologystudents. This involves matters such as the software needed to get adesign for Theatre Design on the web, lines of communication to agree(who responds when and to what), essentially how interactive theeducation can become. An initial trial route will be determined. Theworkshop includes practical training for the lecturers and studentsinvolved. Agreements will be made on the method of assessment andrecognition of each other's mutual curriculum.

Scenographics

http://scart.hku.nl/project12.html (2 of 5) [31.1.2000 20:25:52]

1999/2000 and beyondDuring a three-week workshop, the same group that participates in1999 will participate in a discussion on their experiences. Thepossibilities and impossibilities of interactive communication on anartistic product via the web will be addressed. In addition to practicaltraining, in which the technical aspects of interactive education will berefined, part of the workshop will be devoted to establishingprocedures, embedding the acquired experience in an educationalmodule and making a Scenographics module which, as of 2000, willbe a permanent part of the Scenography/Theatre Design course of allthe higher learning institutions involved. Agreements on recognitionwill have been implemented. Whether to include lecturers from eachother's courses as external experts in the assessment committee orperhaps the Board of Examiners will also be considered.

SustainabilityAfter working on the practical and theoretical implementation of theScenographics module for two years, the educational institutionsinvolved will continue to work on viewing and discussing each other'swork by means of email and the web. The Utrecht students all haveaccess to computers with Internet connections. In Prague and Brno thisis still under development, but will take on the same form in duecourse.

11. Do you have difficulties with the financial procedures.No

12. Do you have difficulties with the available budget to achievethe objectives of your SCART-project.For a solid implementation of the new technolgies into the curriculathe available budget is far too small. Combined effort in relation withSCART-project 3 "Information and distant learning" will only partlysolve this problem. Substantial investments (much more than 50% ofthe project budget) from other, most internal funds, are needed tocontinue this SCART-project.

Theatre Education during the internationalconference 'Theatre and Anthropology' in Brno.

<Description

Since 1995, the Faculty of Theatre in Brno has organised a biennialinternational symposium on "theatre and anthropology" in cooperationwith the Centre for Experimental Theatre. The seminar brings togetherprofessionals from all over the world, not only during meetings,discussions and lectures, but also during the demonstrations andperformances that take place during the symposium. The combinationof activities attracts experts from the field of anthropology, who cometogether to discuss the development of theories and practice. The firstsymposium in 1995 was led by Richard Schechner.The second symposium took place in December 1997, and wasorganised and led by Professor Nicola Savarese. The next symposiumwill take place in 1999. The official languages of the symposium areEnglish and Czech. The lectures and discussions will be translatedsimultaneously from Czech to English and vice versa. The organisationwill ensure that the minutes of the meetings, discussions and lecturesare combined in a publication.

Theatre and Anthropology

http://scart.hku.nl/project14.html (1 of 4) [31.1.2000 20:27:09]

A unique feature of these gatherings is the informal atmosphere inwhich lecturers, students and speakers come together to exchangeideas on the controversial relationship between theatre andanthropology. The reason for this is the division between proponentsof the research carried out by theatre maker Eugenio Barba with regardto a comparable study into acting techniques from an anthropologicalperspective and anthropologists who study the role of the performingarts as an expression of living culture in a social context. A Centre forIntercultural Studies was set up within the Interfaculty of the HKU tofocus attention on the intercultural dimension of the arts. The UtrechtStichting Passepartout, in cooperation with the HKU, organised afour-day symposium on Eugenio Barba in September 1997.

The intention is to organise a conference of the International Schoolfor Theatre and Anthropology (ISTA) in the spring of 2001 in theNetherlands, to be led by Eugenio Barba, with representatives fromDutch theatre education being joined by participants from all over theworld. Besides Stichting Passepartout and the HKU, other theatreschools and the Netherlands Theatre Institute will be involved in theorganisation of the conference. In order to prepare for this event, it isimportant to attune matters of content at the next Theatre andAnthropology symposium in 1999. The Dutch contributed to thesymposia of both 1995 and 1997 in the form of lectures.

The HKU conceived the plan to contribute to the 1999 symposium bymeans of two lectures in addition to a production of the InternationalCourse Theatre and Education. Preparations for this will take place inthe academic year.

1. Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht2. Akademie Múzickych Umení v Praze

Coordinator: Frank Raven (HKU)Place: Prague and UtrechtTime: total duration 3 yearsObjective: Harmonisation of the graduate and

post-graduate curricula for Scenography inorder to guarantee the content-related andfinancial continuity of the course

<Description

The HKU and the AMU have worked together for three years in thefield of theatre design. The cooperation has brought about severalexchanges of students and staff and a modest start to the enrolment offee-paying Czech students in the Utrecht masters course. The intentionof this subproject is to improve the harmonisation of the mutualcurricula, to create possibilities such as the joint provision of parts ofeach other's courses. The envisioned effect of these modifications is amore international, attractive and substantively improved selection ofstudy programmes that is more comparable and is recognised mutually.This can increase the enrolment of foreign fee-paying students,contributing to the financial independence and substantive continuityof the course.Experiments with participation of each other's students in modifiedparts of the curriculum will take place in 1998/1999. Lecturers willalso experience part of each other's courses as guest lecturers and maypossibly be invited to take part in each other's Board of Examiners asexperts.

Student Mobility

http://scart.hku.nl/project16.html (1 of 2) [31.1.2000 20:27:44]

Description

Additional mobility will take place, besides student mobility asincluded in the description of the subprojects. Preconditions for themobility are: recognition of the study period in the home institution(preferably by means of transfer of ECTS credits), advance agreementon the study content to be taken and agreements on tutoring in theguest institution. The European Credit Transfer System is to be used,where possible. Following (parts of the) study abroad at companies ororganisations is to be stimulated as this improves the connections tointernational professional practice. However, this must take place onthe condition that the guest institution ensures good content-relatedtutoring and takes responsibility for the assessment of this period.

1999/2000 and beyondDepending on the experiences, the manner of recognition of theforeign study period will be standardised further, in line with theEuropean standard: ECTS as much as possible. The objectives of thesemobility projects are the exchange of educational and culturalexperiences by exchanging students (16 student mobility) andproviding lectures by guest lecturers and carrying out projectmanagement consultations (17 staff mobility).

< Interim report 15 Februari 1999

Staff Mobility

http://scart.hku.nl/project17.html (1 of 2) [31.1.2000 20:28:10]

Interim report 15 Februari 1999

In the reporting period eight staff members (all NL to CZ, a lot ofCzech staff visited NL during conference with seperate funding) havevisited institutions thanks to a SCART grant. This includes the twosteering committee meetings in October in Prague and February inBrno. Nine staff members (2 NL to CZ, 7 CZ to NL) have beenawarded a SCART grant for the remaining months in this academicyear. Encouraging is the relatively high participation in these mobilityactivities of the institutions that are so far less involved in otherSCART projects (AVU, VSUP, KAKB, Groningen, Maastricht).
