Results

The partnership succeeded in defining the itinerant structure of the future Master’s programme and the criteria determining students’ pathways, the student and teacher profiles, the selection criteria, the structure of the curriculum and its core content, the course catalogue matrix, the organisation of the research dimension, the entrance examination, the format and evaluation criteria of the final assessment (artistic project and research), the main principles of student management, and the distribution of responsibilities among the academic partners.

This website with an evolving structure has been developed to present the project and, ultimately, to serve as the programme’s reference site.

A “Dance Forum” online platform has been launched. It comprises 4 sections: glossary, video resources (including interviews related to the IMPACT project), documentary resources (articles, websites, books), and a Who’sWho.
