We aim to build on an established link between three international partners; Mayfield Arts Cork, Rocket Artists Brighton and Kuntswerkplaats Amsterdam in the exploration of the possibilities and innovative approaches of studio based arts programmes. This partnership aims to enhance the learning and development opportunities for adults with learning/developmental disabilities. The partnership will exchange methodologies/approaches and models by using video as a tool to document learner's studio arts practices while also developing the outcomes as a learning resource for the wider public. The Adult Learners will be involved in mobilities, development of ICT and video production skills, online interactions and collaborations. The learning and pedagogical outcomes will be enhanced by the involvement and feedback from the Adult Learners.
