European Collaboration of Creative Institutes for Transition Education

About ECCITE

ECCITE is the European Collaboration of Creative Institutes for Transition Education initiated by three leading creative institutions, Plymouth College of Art, Ernst-Litfaß-Schule (Berlin) and the Royal Academy of The Hague.

ECCITE seeks to bring together leaders, practitioners and educators whose focus is transition learning. 

 This may be between school and higher education, between school and employment, between school & society, between vocational education and general education for the creative industries.

Through this network the purpose is to engage with education in the 21st century through knowledge exchange, development of international understanding and platform to collaborate on innovative & sustainable responses to issues identified.
