This helps strengthen human and professional relationships, involvement in systematic international projects, group exhibitions and the creation of online art galleries. It helps raise awareness among students on the Master’s Degree Course in Art Education of different techniques and strategies for promoting artistic and cultural activities and involves them in the organisation of various events.
