In this webinar about the SWAIP Erasmus+ project (2018-2021), we celebrate the findings of the process and introduce a new study programme, expected to launch autumn 2022 at the Iceland University of the Arts. The goal of the SWAIP study programme is to introduce students to art‘s abilities to make connections, facilitate well-being, empowerment and strengthen self-confidence. Emphasis is on training flexible and sensitive artists, capable of relating to advanced ideas and finding new roles in the constant changing society.
