The
higher institute of arts and crafts in Gabes
was founded by virtue of the presidential decree
number 1912/2001 dated back to the 14th of August
2001, published the same day in the Republic
of Tunisia's Official Journal.
On the national level, it is considered as the
second institute created to teach those specialities.
 |
Through
its diverse specialities, the institute opts
for a scientific, cultural, artistic and technical
formation characterised by a craft and professional
counselling. This orientation is based on advanced
technologies conceived to enhance the student's
creation capacity and let him acquire new artistic
competences, which will facilitate his integration
in the economic, social and cultural life of
his country.
The foundation plan of
the institute tries to achieve many scientific
and national objectives:
|
| |
The strengthening
of the academic formation in the field of arts
with precise and up to date programmes which develop
for the student the spirit of initiative and the
best use of advanced technologies. |
| |
The revision of the classic
masterships specifically in the field of Plastic
Arts and reinforcing them with new perspectives
and additional options that would contribute to
a better chance for the student and future job
applicant in the job market. |
 |
The activation of the professional
and functional sides in arts by offering a formation
of "technician" in specific domains
based on a computerised database directly related
to arts and often used in crafts like advertising,
product design, tapestry, interior design, techniques,
and design of image and visual arts. |
|
Developing the national legacy
in the field of craft and refreshing the domain
with a skilled staff able to handle new technologies
used in design and innovate at the same time.
Besides, the Higher Institute of Arts and Crafts
of Gabes is in a permanent work to fulfil the
state policy aiming at reinforcing the formation
and relating it to the regional specialities.
In general, the southeastern area and in particular
the region of Gabes holds an important amount
of craft products and a promising productive capability.
This raw material is a potential source of inspiration
for students thus it is a means for regional development. |
