The ELIA Teachers’ Academy aims to contribute to the professional development of professors, teachers and researchers in higher arts education by facilitating their participation in – and engagement with – challenging experiences and debates set in an international context. Teachers’ Academy Participants will:
- engage with innovative pedagogic and research methods at international level;

The Teachers' Academy and NEU/NOW LIVE Festival
This year's edition of the Teachers' Academy will be held in conjunction with the ELIA NEU/NOW LIVE Festival, an annual event featuring high quality, exciting work of art graduates from all over Europe. The combination of these two dynamic events will result in a participatory experience covering the range of arts education pedagogy from process to production.

I believe a solid training in the traditional skills is quite valuable, even essential, for most young art students, but I think that, once trained, each artist should find his or her own metier...simply replicating paintings in the academic style is a dead end and usually doesn't produce art, but taxidermy.
