European Training Network for Animation schools
From 2006 to 2014 and with the support of the MEDIA Programme of the European Union, CARTOON organised the Training for Trainers meeting, which was specifically designed for directors of European animation schools and universities. Its aim was to strengthen and develop the network between schools so that they could exchange on best practices, their curricula and the increase of their students’ mobility. Another key objective of this meeting was to foster the dialogue between schools and the profession and in particular to inform schools of the skills needed by the animation industry at large.
Thanks to this meeting, the European Training Network for Animation schools, ETNA, was created. Below you will find the list of animation schools and universities currently part of ETNA.
