1.Campus France, Thailand

Campus France is a governmental agency under the administration of the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Higher Education and Research. Its main mission is to enhance the international attractiveness of French higher education and research.

The agency provides international students with information on the richness and diversity of French academic programs, from Bachelor’s degrees to doctorates. It also promotes the various scholarship programs offered by the French government, higher education institutions, and institutional or private partners.

Campus France also plays a key role in supporting students as they prepare for their departure to France. The agency assists them with administrative procedures such as visa applications, search for accommodation, translation of birth certificates, registration with French Social Security and so on.

Eventually, Campus France works to bring together and strengthen the France Alumni network, composed of former international students who have studied in French higher education.

2.Animation, Estonian Academy of Arts (EKA) curated by Lucija Mrzljak

The Estonian Academy of Arts is the oldest and only public university of visual culture in Estonia. International students cultivate their analytical abilities and critical thinking with the aim of developing into environmentally- and socially-conscientious creators.

The main goal of Animation Department programmes is to successfully educate animated film creators through theoretical knowledge and practical skills. The further aim is to contribute to the global development of animation as an art form.

Animation’s scope means that students are encouraged to approach their film creations uniquely. The Academy wants to inspire students and help them contextualise themselves and their art in the larger world through theoretical classes, via technical courses and workshops they get the technical skills to create their visions.

Curriculums are based on students creating independent films from the very start to production and postproduction. This creates well-rounded and capable directors who will continue to create fresh and creative films.
