Erasmus+ Intensive Course on Intercultural Exchange and Creative Communication

The Erasmus+ week “Intercultural relations and creative communication” took place at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre from 8-12 April.

The CIP course started on 6 March with distance lectures and ended on 24 April. In total, 19 students from Aveiro University in Portugal, Liepaja University in Latvia, Tampere University of Applied Sciences in Finland, Cracow Academy of Music in Poland, and Estonia participated, as well as 6 lecturers from the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre (Lect. Viltė Gridasova-Rusevičienė, doc. Vytis Puronas, lect. Audrius Dabrovolskas), cinematographer Herman Hoffman (Toby) Birney and lect. Yohanna Sirkesalo from Tampere University of Applied Sciences, Finland.

During the intensive programme, music, design, communication and new media arts students worked on a wide range of creative ideas – from the city of Vilnius as a space for young people to find inspiration to create; an exhibition to be presented in one of Tampere’s city galleries; digital posters of the city of Vilnius depicting a different artist’s day in the city; to musical compositions inspired by different visual arts.

It is planned that this Erasmus+ intensive week course will be extended in one of the partner institutions of the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre in 2025.
