For the last 40 years, the contemporary circus arts education sector has been evolving towards a professionalization of actors. However, no common definition has ever existed of the circus arts teaching profession neither a common recognition of its educational paths (initial training, validation of experience/skills acquired during a continuous training) nor educational tools despite a growing need. INTENTS has had a great role to address these gaps and needs identified by teachers, directors and policy makers active in the recognition of the profession, training and validation of skills by:-formalizing a European competency framework for the circus arts teaching profession at secondary/vocational/HE levels-developing a thematic continuing training sessions format based on the 3 pilot sessions-developing innovative educational tools-the appearance of a recognition of the profession definition at national/EU levels-issuing recommendations for validating skills acquired during the continuous training-animating a partnership with intersectorial dynamics between VET & HE, recommendations for national qualification frameworksThese objectives were achieved by developing methodologies, consultations, training sessions, writing tools, transnational meetings and dissemination events such as:-publication of a European competency framework for the circus arts teaching profession (SAVOIRS01) in EN-FR-organization of 3 thematic training pilot sessions focused on educational/artistic/linguistic skills, each one gathering more than 20 teachers from European professional schools-evaluation methods through observation and interviews in order to identify learning outcomes and non-formal and informal skills acquired during continuous training-Reflection started about a strategy for the recognition of learning outcomes at sectoral/national/EU in accordance with the national EQF and existing EU tools (EQF-ECVET-EQAVET, Europass, CEDEFOP recommendations).-set up of a continuous training design guide incorporating the structuration of programs in learning outcomes, the identification/validation of skills, and a methodology of continuous training engineering adaptable/multipliable by other sector’s segments (leisure, social) or areas of artistic training-development and dissemination of 3 educational tools in Open Educational Resources in 4 languages EN/FR/ES/DE-organisation of 6 partnership meetings each gathering on average 20 partners out of 34 eachStrengthening cooperation between several stakeholders:-direct employers of teachers via schools/federations/networks-researchers specialized in defining professions and engineering training -decision-makers with a strong sector involvement in the definition of its jobs, its professionalization and the validation of skills-other sectors of performing arts education (dance/music/theatre) providing a definition of skills for any art teacher.
