Engagement between the Higher Education and the Arts Sectors - Why is it important, how does it happen, and how do we benefit?

Friday, 9 May 2014, 9.00am

Jimmy Deenihan TD Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, and Ruairí Quinn TD Minister for Education and Skills, will host a day-long symposium (Engagement between the Higher Education and the Arts Sectors - Why is it important, how does it happen, and how do we benefit?)
 
This symposium - organised with the assistance and support of the Higher Education Authority - will involve a range of speakers including those drawn from the Higher Education and Arts Sectors.
 
The symposium will examine the engagement between the Higher Education sector and the Arts Sector and pose three core questions:
 
·         Session 1 - Arts in Higher Education: Why is it important?
·         Session 2 - Arts in Higher Education: How does it happen? By sharing positive experiences, can we learn from   each other?
·        Session 3 - Arts in Higher Education: How can Ireland benefit from the Creative Europe 2014 - 2020 programme to deepen the engagement between the Higher Education and the Arts Sectors?
 
Session 3 will include the involvement of an international guest speaker with considerable experience in relation to Creative Europe 2014 to 2020 - Mr Callum Lee - who will offer advice to institutions and arts organisations on how to make applications for support from this scheme. Over the course of the symposium, poster board presentations - that showcase the extent and breadth of engagement between the sectors - will also be available to view.
