Abstract

This paper is aimed at identifying and disseminating six project-based learning international good practices, developed by the Escola d’Art i Superior de Disseny de les Illes Balears (Spain) and the Tibilisi State Academy of Arts (Georgia), in the framework of an Erasmus+ KA107 project. Based on Erasmus+ staff mobility for teaching, six project-based learning experiences were proposed. They focused on Design for Social Innovation, which included Social Design, Sustainable Design, and Universal Design. From 25th to 29th October 2021, professors from the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts visited Spain and presented the “White Chronotope'’ project («I can see with the fingers», to open the art to visually impaired and blind people), and developed three workshops addressed to Graphic, Fashion and Product Design students, respectively. From 14th to 18th March 2022, professors from the Escola d’Art i Superior de Disseny de les Illes Balears moved to Georgia and offered three workshops: «Collaborative Open-Source Animation'’, «Powerful letters. Calligraphy & Lettering for Activist Design», and «Inclusive Fashion Design», respectively. The added value of these international workshops was to promote “Internationalisation at Home” and expand the benefits of the Erasmus+ program to a higher number of participants, including students with fewer opportunities.

Research Contribution: Identify and disseminate project-based learning international good practices, and promote the results of the Erasmus+ project 2020–1-ES01-KA107–077891, involving the Escola d’Art i Superior de Disseny de les Illes Balears (Spain) and the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts (Georgia).
