In the workshop we will share the learning materials created across all three curriculum areas (Arts management, Digital and New Technologies and Cultural Entrepreneurship) as a peer to peer session with one of our vocational education lecturers partners from Belfast Met who will explain what can be used and what they found helpful. We will also share a practical understanding of how to implement the curricula, both for colleges and employers. We will talk through what it’s like for UK vocational educators to collaborate internationally, and how to avoid potential issues and barriers for any future transnational education / mobility projects that you might be involved in or interested in developing.
