During the last two years, the fundamental characteristic of the World of Art<\/em> has been its increasingly intensive involvement in the international art world<\/strong>. The school has of course been internationally oriented from the very start, having included numerous international lecturers and workshop mentors, and often also students from neighbouring countries. However, since 2010, we have managed to deepen previously sporadic or short-term collaborations, and through several years of co-operation, connect with similar and complementary European programmes. Together with Vienna, Krakow and Z\u00fcrich postgraduate curatorial studies and Zagreb school for curators, we have thus established several parallel and intersecting platforms, enabling an in-depth exchange of knowledge on theoretical and practical education within the field of contemporary art. We have shared useful experience, (co)influenced programme development, and most importantly, connected different protagonists from the art world. This co-operation is also a matter of exchanging and becoming familiar with art practices relevant to individual contexts, and so \u2018our\u2019 lecturers visited Krakow, Z\u00fcrich, Zagreb and Vienna, while we hosted visitors from Croatia, Switzerland, Poland and Austria. Equally important results of this co-operation are the connections and knowledge gained by course members\/students (future curators and critics) who participated in our carefully prepared study excursions, where they were introduced to the art scene of individual cities. We helped them learn about good artistic practices, aroused their critical and analytical awareness with questionable approaches and connected them with their future colleagues \u2013 the curators and critics of upcoming generations.<\/p>\n

World of Art. Models of training and collaboration in contemporary arts<\/em> is a partnership focused on vocational training of Curatorial Studies, Art Critical Studies, Museum Studies, and Art Journalism. The partnership intends to examine the best practices of vocational training strategies, methods and curriculum, developed by the partners.<\/p>\n

The partnership, based on long-term educational experiences of all partners, is developing a vocational program for curators, critics and art journalists of contemporary arts. The vocational program consists of different activities (writing skills, production of exhibitions, critical readings, workshops, lectures, and study excursions) and ends with acquiring the certificate, which helps the learners to start operating in the art world. The learners will gain a specific, mostly practical knowledge for operating as curators, critics and art journalists of contemporary arts.<\/p>\n

Furthermore the partnership will search for alternative models of art education, it will develop a joint curriculum and vocational reader and it will enhance cooperation and networking between cultural institutions in four countries that share similar experiences regarding their status within the international art market and the state of art education. It will build the space for long-term collaboration on both institutional levels (partners\u2019 organizations and their staff) and individual levels (learners, lecturers and tutors).<\/p>\n
