HELLO! Professor Peter Lloyd, Director of School of Art Design and Fashion, Southampton Solent University. VIEW MORE ABOUT PREFACE LINK TO INTRODUCTION VIDEO As Director of the School of Art, Design and Fashion at Southampton Solent University I aim to inspire a philosophy for staff and students which encourages them to view their School as international as opposed to parochial. TNCE is a project which has proven the benefits of this approach and underpinned my attempts at developing an outward looking School that produces employable creative graduates who are able to successfully engage and operate in a rapidly growing global market. This shared ambition to explore employability and international- isation within the Creative Industries was the main factor for Recontre Audiovisuelles, CIT Crawford Colege of Arts, Wandesford Quay Gallery, The Hague University of Applied Science, Southampton Solent University and China Academy of Art/ Shanghai Institute of Design to join forces and create TNCE, Trans National Creative Exchange, a project co funded by Creative Europe.
