International

A pedagogy open to Europe and the world as part of the Erasmus+ program but also thanks to educational trips, promotes the mobility of students and teachers.

Ensad Limoges has set up numerous international exchanges with academic and industrial partners in Europe, America, Africa and Asia. Like the porcelain trade, which has been part of a dynamic of exchanges between Europe and Asia since the 15th century, and in keeping with its historical vocation as a school of applied arts for the porcelain industry, Ensad is developing a major focus on contemporary ceramics. The school's teaching is also internationally oriented as part of the Erasmus program, but also through educational trips that promote the mobility of students and teachers. Germany, Colombia, Spain, Finland, Japan (Kyoto Seika University), Morocco (Specialized Institute of Traditional Arts - ISAT Meknes), Portugal, etc. are all destinations that open up the discovery of knowledge and practices that complement the teaching provided by Ensad. International mobility takes place either within the framework of compulsory internships with professionals or artistic and cultural structures, or in the form of a full semester of study within a partner establishment.

Erasmus program

The Erasmus+ program allows a student to benefit from a study grant for mobility recognized by their home establishment. The Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region also supports students for study and internship mobility in Europe and outside Europe by providing financial aid.

Jingdezhen Research and Creation Studio

Since 2011, Ensad has had a workshop set up within Jingdezhen Ceramic University (JCU). JCU is the main university establishment in China training in porcelain professions (art, design, engineering, management). It hosts three national laboratories for technical and material research in the fields of ceramics. The production of ceramic projects, in interaction with seminars led by artists and guest teachers (French, Chinese or foreign) is developed in connection with professional networks (artisanal, artistic, industrial) set up in situ. Since 2012, each year, five young creators from the Kaolin post-graduate program at Ensad Limoges go to work for three months at the JCU in Jingdezhen.
