What will it be?
In preparation for our in-person gathering, we encourage each participant to engage in a unique digital introduction. This will be a wonderful opportunity for everyone to get to know each other ahead of the event. More information coming soon.
Our theme, Sharing Experiences, covers:
1. Communication Challenges at HEIs in Crises – Andres Lõo will guide discussions on navigating communication during crises.
2. Challenges and Practices of Quality Assurance in Higher Arts Education – Valerie Smet from KASK, Belgium and Kristiina Krabi-Klanberg from EKA will lead exchanges and discussions on quality and accreditation processes.
3. Learner centeredness in digitally enhanced learning environments – Kaja Toomla will explore emerging possibilities and practical challenges that digitalisation brings along.
These sessions aim to inspire and equip educators and administrators for an evolving educational landscape and we invite you to actively participate in talks, presentations and discussions.

The week not only offers invaluable insights for leaders, educators, researchers, and administrative staff but also includes a special highlight: the EKA graduation show, TASE 2024. This event showcases the exceptional talent of our graduates, offering a glimpse into the future of art, design, architecture, and cultural studies. We strongly encourage active participation, particularly in sessions that resonate with these creative fields.
As an ERASMUS BIP event, commitment throughout the week is important. This event qualifies for the Erasmus+ programme (staff training or teaching).
We eagerly anticipate your presence in Tallinn for a fruitful and engaging experience.
