Cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices
Strategic Partnerships in Higher Education
SHAKIN’ is supported by six partners from four countries (France, Germany, Serbia, Sweden), with three universities and three cultural organisations, all of them being internationally recognised in their domain of activity. They join their expertise to address crucial contemporary challenges affecting European culture fields by finding new ways to think, work and collaborate, in order to provide students with an adequate professional ethos for the jobs of tomorrow. Market logic, populist policies, migrations and globalisation, ecological transition or digital technologies affected the contexts of culture management, policy, research, and teaching in various tectonic ways over the last decades. But teaching and training in culture fields have largely maintained narrowly professional, nation-based assumptions of culture, politics, participation and education. As a result, learning processes are not just ill-fitting to provide relevant knowledge and well-equipped professionals but are insensitive to excluded, marginalised and oppressed voices and life experiences of today.
Objectives
Connecting academic and subaltern knowledge through sharing research methodologies in innovative forms of thinking, learning and teaching;
Professionalising (post-graduate) students with new forms of cultural consciousness, nurtured by theoretical tools and endorsed by practical skills;
Supporting international cooperation through projects including subaltern perspectives.
Outcomes
Digital handbook Searching from the subaltern, which collects and displays research methodologies for subaltern knowledge;
Toolbox Diversifying learning environments, gathering innovative tools for learning and teaching;
A platform for international cultural project implementation, proposing skills prescriptions and tools, mentoring about intercultural professional experiences and advocating for new professional ethos in culture fields;
Curriculum Subaltern knowledge for international cultural project management, articulating the other results of the project in a short-term educational programme.
