When talking about internationalisation, the PIE community already touched upon the need for deepening the debate around values and ethics in international partnerships.
International engagement is becoming more and more integrated into the institutions’ strategies and in the core aspects of higher education. At the same time, we are faced with numerous global challenges which raise ever more urgent questions of ethical responsibility in international relations and many of them intersect in complex ways, such as security, health, human rights, the economy and the environment.
The realm of the arts is particularly affected: How can stakeholders ensure that their creativity is not misused? What still counts as “keeping lines of communication open” and where does complicity start?
The goal of this session is not to deliver ready-made answers, but to suggest a tentative mapping of the field, present some examples and case studies, and to contribute to a process of negotiating valid responses to pressing challenges.
