OVERVIEW

The “Altre attività” (other activities) allow students to broaden their horizon and integrate the acquisition of additional knowledge and skills into disciplinary learning, useful for training and for entering the world of work.

AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The other activities that can be achieved according to a typology described in the Didactic Regulations of the course aim at enhancing communication and IT skills and abilities, related to transversal skills; for students of the Entertainment curriculum they specifically concern laboratories and internships carried out in institutions related to music, entertainment and the media.

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

Depending on the student’s free choice, participation in Further activities will allow:

• to acquire transversal and broad knowledge with respect to the training course (participation in conferences, seminars, etc.)
• to acquire extra-curricular skills and competences (participation in workshops)
• to acquire skills and abilities in the field of foreign languages.

Participation in laboratories and other professional activities (e.g. through the activation of an internship in a work, public or private context), contribute in particular to developing the student's ability to apply the knowledge and skills being acquired in the training.
