In the morning, the delegation arrived at Daheishi Campus. Focusing on art majors and accompanied by college leaders, the delegation successively visited teaching facilities such as the Nursing Industry College and the Smart City Service Industry College's dynamic sand painting training room. They observed the teaching scenarios and training achievements of various majors up close, gaining an in-depth understanding of the college's teaching resource allocation, educational characteristics, and comprehensive strength in the field of art education.
As a college deeply cultivating digital art education and possessing high-quality teaching resources, Dalian Maple Leaf Vocational and Technical College's Environmental Art Design and Animation Production Technology majors are both core majors of the college. Its teaching philosophy of "creativity leading, technology as the foundation, integration of theory and practice, and industry-education synergy" highly aligns with the educational characteristics of Ufa State Academy of Arts of Russia. As one of Russia's top creative higher education institutions, Ufa State Academy of Arts covers multiple fields including music, theater, dance, and visual arts, delivering a large number of professional talents for the local and even Russian cultural sectors. The conceptual exchange and experience sharing between the two sides in the field of art education laid the foundation for subsequent cooperation.
In the afternoon, the delegation went to Qidingshan Campus to visit the animation major students' works exhibition. The students' animation design works were creatively novel and technically proficient, fully demonstrating the college's educational achievements of "promoting learning through competition and enhancing competence through practice," as well as the students' solid professional skills and rich creative inspiration, winning high praise from the delegation.
After the visit, college leaders held a welcome ceremony. At the ceremony, both sides exchanged gifts, conveying profound friendship. Tao Xingzhi Education Foundation assisted both sides in building a cooperation platform and promoting the deepening of exchanges.
During the negotiation session, both sides conducted in-depth exchanges on specific cooperation matters such as student exchange programs, teacher mutual visit plans, and jointly organizing art exhibitions. They reached broad consensus on building an international art exchange platform, promoting two-way exchanges between teachers and students, and enhancing the quality of art education, clarifying the direction for subsequent cooperation and specific advancement plans.
This negotiation not only broadened the international vision of the college's art education but also promoted in-depth cooperation between both sides in the field of art education. In the future, the college will draw on high-quality experience, broaden cooperation channels, deeply cultivate art talent cultivation, and achieve win-win cooperation in China-foreign education.
