International - Partnerships
Signatory of the ERASMUS+ Charter for higher education, the Pôle International de la Marionnette – Jacques Félix (ESNAM) welcomes students for limited periods, teachers, researchers and university staff of European higher education institutions and offers international mobility opportunities to its students and team.
Why come to ESNAM on an ERASMUS exchange?
Only 2 hours from Paris, in the heart of a city that vibrates to the rhythm of puppetry, the École Supérieure Nationale des Arts de la Marionnette – Margareta Niculescu (ESNAM) offers a unique setting, in a human-sized establishment promoting exchanges between students, teachers and researchers artists
Since its creation, the ESNAM has formed big names in puppetry, who radiate today on national and international stages (Gisèle Vienne, Renaud Herbin, Yngvild Aspeli, Basil Twist…). The courses take the form of workshops and master classes, led by internationally recognized artists who share their know-how, vision and passion. These meetings nourish a demanding and inspiring pedagogy.
Each year welcomes students from all over the world, reflecting the school’s international outlook.
