IDEAS: inclusion, diversity, equity, accessibility, social safety

Students and employees of Fontys Academy of the Arts have a fundamental right to feel safe. Everyone has the right to be treated with respect and dignity. When a student or employee feels that there is unacceptable behaviour (bullying, sexually transgressive behaviour, discrimination, intimidation, racism, aggression or violence), this must be responded to appropriately. In short, they feel seen and heard according to their wishes. Here is an overview of various websites and internal portals with information about support options when confronted with unacceptable behaviour. The topic of “social safety” receives ample structural attention.

Alumni and work field

Fontys Academy of the Arts is very proud of its graduates and we would therefore like to stay in touch with them. The input we receive from our alumni and thus the professional field is essential for the innovation of our programmes. Moreover, we offer our alumni a Lifelong Learning programme, so that they may continue to grow on an academic level, even when they are already long graduated.

Events

Fontys Academy of the Arts organises several events throughout the year. They are often open for everyone to attend. Are you interested in one of our programmes, for example? Then you should come and join one of our events.

We are looking forward to see you soon!
