In June 2022, after 25 years of exploration of innovative inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary research and practices supported by the Nordic Council of Ministers (together with the Baltic Countries’ support since 2008,)  through the Nordplus Higher Education and Nordplus Horizontal programs, the final action of the CAPE Network concluded with a study visit to our CAPE partner institution: the University of the Faroe Islands.

The delegation included teachers and students from two Baltic and two Nordic country partners: The Marine Research Institution, Klaipeda University, Klaipeda, Lithuania; the Program in Choreography, the Baltic Film and Media Arts School, Tallinn University; the Arts Academy, Turku University of Applied Sciences, Turku, Finland; and Nord University, Levanger, Norway. The disciplines of Environmental Marine Science, Dance/Choreography, Media Arts, Environmental Arts Education, and Sámi culture were presented by the student and teacher cohort. We were graciously hosted, by Dr. Erla Olsen, Dean, Associate Professor in Biology and Natural Science Didactics. Faculty of Education, the University of Faroe Islands.
