B.A. (Hons) International Community Arts Practices

The structure of the programme has been designed in three inter-related strands aimed at developing skills for working in the community, knowledge and practices within an arts context and thirdly, language skills. At each level, students enhance their individual and collective skills in community arts practices, develop the application of those skills through familiarisation with professional practices and contextualise what they are doing in a conceptual framework. You are also able to choose from a wide variety of languages to study to support the international context of your practice.

The philosophy of the programme and the pedagogic approach envisage working with partners in a range of communities to achieve empowerment for individuals and groups and to celebrate indigenous cultures. Accordingly, communities are seen to be self-forming and self-validating rather than determined from without, often sharing a common passion, such as art.
