Just last week we visited Student Forum as one of their alumni guests!

Each year Fest Anča hosts the Student Forum where various schools of animation from all over EU come together to discuss education, animation filmmaking, the value of art, and in general the important topics of the world. We are grateful to be able to join each year and have this network of animation education brought together!

This year we got to
• see very insightful presentations from and on their curriculum and philosophies in animation and art education.
• support , who joined us for a semester in Erasmus+ exchange last autumn, during her pitching of her new MA diploma film
• got to see a super inspiring presentation from and hangout with her outside of Estonia
• and in general meet a bunch of cool educators, students & professionals who we can now call friends:)
+ so many more informative presentations, case studies & conversations
Thank you !
