ActInArt – the Nordic Baltic network for promoting entrepreneurial thinking in the arts, invites students to
apply for an intensive course in Tallinn, Estonia located in beautiful settings of the south part of Finnish
Bay. The camp will be hosted by the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre in Laulasmaa, a remote
village on the Baltic seaside.

For five days students will engage in an innovative artistic laboratory involving a wide range of teaching and
learning methods such as mentoring, lecturing, group work and open practices. Participants will explore
and investigate questions such as:

- Who are we as artists / arts managers, and how can we move where we want to move?
- How can we connect our creative potentials and competences to real life projects?
- How do we as artists act and engage in our contemporary societies with all the challenges these are faced
with?
- How do we build our career for sustainable work life?

The key words for the course content are: Idea development, international laboratory, networking,
facilitation, group work, study visits, INTERDISCIPLINARITY, forest gateway, career sustainability.

The elaborated content of the bootcamp will be developed based on the needs of applying students and
will be facilitated by competent teachers and researchers from the ActInArt network.
