Higher education student and staff mobility project
Date du début: 1 juin 2014, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2015 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

The Erasmus+ staff mobility project in the 2014/15 contract of The Danish National School of Performing Arts (DDSKS), shows that the overall and main focus and aim of our mobility activities have been staff teaching. We have thus spent the greatest part of the mobiliy funds on inviting 27 international EU- based guests lecturers to teach in our many different education programmes. The staff teaching opportunity in Erasmus+ is a great opportunity for an internationallly oriented performing arts school like DDSKS to benefit of the best international experts in the field. Our three dance related programmes (contemporary dance, choreography and dance partnership) are extremely international in their scope, and the fact that we have been able to spend a good part of our Erasmus staff teaching mobility funds on inviting the best interntational teachers to the school has hugely helped us to maintain and increase this position. The scenography and sound design educations have also benefitted from the staff teaching support to invited international experts from private companies. On the staff training side, we have spent the mobility funds on European training for five different members of staff who work in positions as teachers, head of education programme and head of international relations. They have received training within their field of work in relevant partner institutions in Italy and Germany. On the student mobility side the situation looks somehow different than originally planned at application stage. This means that DDSKS did not send out any students on Erasmus+ student mobility, neither on study exchange or Erasmus placements. There are several reasons for this; until now it has almost only been possible for our students in contemporary dance to undertake Erasmus+ exchange periods, because of the structure and scope of this programme, which is indeed very international. However, we only accept new contemporary dance students every second year, which means that the Erasmus+ students mobility activities will flucatuate up and down, since every second year, as the majority of the dance student go on exchange in their third study year. In 2014/15 academic year, we thus only had a second and a fourth year of dance students. DDSKS have, in the last five years, also worked intensively on implementing the opportunity for exchange periods abroad in the study programmes of the theatre students (including acting, directing, scenography, light design, sound design, stage management, production management and props design). This is a long and quite complicated process because of the way the study programmes are designed with very few students on each programme (between two and eight) who are working together cross-disciplinary on productions throughout the year, which makes it difficult for one students to leave on exchange for more than 12 weeks. We are however, trying to make specific 'mobility window' and exchange periods in the different study plans available for all students. This means that in the current ongoing 2015-17 Erasmus+ mobility contract, we have already sent out a relatively big number of students on Erasmus exchange.
