NAHEMI Co-signs Higher Arts Education Networks’ SZFE Solidarity Statement

Posted in Nahemi News by Lucy Leake, September 9th, 2020

AEC, Cumulus, EAAE, ELIA, NAHEMI and GEECT stand in solidarity with colleague institutions in Hungary and SZFE Budapest in particular.

As European higher arts education networks, we express our deepest concerns regarding the recent direction and implementation of Hungarian policy, which is severely affecting free development of education in the arts. We particularly condemn the undermining of the autonomy of the University of Theatre and Film Arts (SZFE), a renowned 155-year-old higher arts education institution. Free development of education in the arts, together with freedom of artistic expression and freedom of research are cornerstone values of European societies and cannot be negotiated.

We urge the Hungarian government and policymakers to guarantee freedom of development and organisational autonomy for SZFE and all higher arts education institutions in the country. AEC, Cumulus, EAAE, ELIA, GEECT , NAHEMI

NAHEMI Talking Shop 2020 CFP

Posted in Latest, Nahemi Events, Nahemi News by Lucy Leake, June 2nd, 2020

‘Teaching Production During the Pandemic’

Call for Presentations

 Talking Shop is NAHEMI’s annual conference where we have the chance to meet, share best practice, and discuss the issues and highlights of teaching moving image production in UK Higher Education. This year, like so many other organisations, we are moving online for our conference. Full details to follow

We are inviting five minute presentations that address the important questions raised by our current situation – finding new ways to teach production during a pandemic. This could be a Pecha Kucha, reflections on a case study, a verbal presentation, or a slide show with commentary, but it has to be prepared with online presentation in mind. We hope by sharing your ideas now, we can inform and support NAHEMI members as they consider graduation screenings and preparations for the next academic year.

Below, are some essential themes in the on-going debate we would like you to address:

• Is it possible to teach filmmaking online?
• What is ‘blended learning’ in a practice-led programme?
• What are the challenges and positive outcomes of the pandemic situation?
• How can we support first year students to experience real film production?
• What can be done to replace the degree show?
• What constitutes a good online teaching experience?
• Has online teaching provided better access to professionals in the film and TV industry, what are your experiences?
• Are we able to give students their money’s worth with online teaching?
• What are your strategies for online group learning?
• What is your approach in teaching practical workshops and cleaning equipment?

Please submit a 200 word proposal, based on one or more of the listed themes or related areas, to chair@nahemi.org along with a brief bio by Friday 15 June.

How to teach Moving Image in a Coronavirus environment?

Posted in Nahemi News by Lucy Leake, March 20th, 2020

With forced closures of universities, colleges and arts institutions due to COVID19, as well as film and TV industries halting production, how can we make sure our current and future moving image students are supported to achieve their ambitions of making quality film, animation, games and TV?

NAHEMI will be opening up a conversation that we invite you all to participate in. How have you managed student expectations? How have you begun to think about a transition to online delivery? How will you manage your degree shows? What best and worst practice can you share?

Please watch this space! We will be sharing a forum soon and invite you to participate.

Take care and stay safe
