The next PIE Internationalisation Community Meeting will take place from 3 - 5 June 2026 in Vilnius, Lithuania.

Hosted by Vilnius Academy of Arts, ELIA's PIE Internationalisation Community Hub invites papers, presentations, and workshop proposals exploring how internationalisation shapes higher arts education — both through the formal curriculum and the hidden curriculum that influences how we learn, teach, collaborate, and develop as global citizens.

Main questions:

• How are international and intercultural dimensions embedded in curricula — formally and informally?
• How do we prepare graduates for global citizenship and professional life in a diverse world?
• How does the hidden curriculum reflect or challenge equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI)?

AREAS OF INTEREST

We are especially interested in contributions that explore:

• Institutional cooperation and projects: How are international collaborations and/or European initiatives integrated into teaching? Many institutions have developed and participated in European and international initiatives. But what is their impact on the curriculum and learning communities? 
• Mobility and internships: How are these structured — as mandatory or elective elements? Are these incorporated into the curriculum?
• Internationalisation of curriculum: How are diverse, global, decolonial and intercultural perspectives included in content and pedagogy?
• Hidden curriculum: What implicit messages, social rituals, and unspoken norms shape intercultural learning in higher arts education?
• Skills and competences for global citizenship: What international and intercultural knowledge, skills, and competences do graduates need to thrive as professionals and to act as responsible global citizens?
