As part of the British Academy of Jewellery’s ongoing collaboration with the Parlement Lycéen Européen, a European jewellery organsiation, work by BAJ students is currently on display in Greece. 

The PLE Exhibition launched at jewellery school I.I.E.K. in Volos on June 23 and will run until September 15, also showing the works of students from the six other European jewellery schools which are part of the project. The travelling exhibition gives students an international platform from which to showcase their work. It also gives students at BAJ and all partner schools the chance to take part in a cultural exchange and get inspired by jewellery made by their international peers. Last winter, the British Academy of Jewellery hosted the exhibition at its London campus. 

The six other PLE-partner schools featuring in the ongoing exhibition are:

• Scuola Orafa Vincenzo Melchiorre in Valenza, Italy
• Escola Artistica Antonio Arroio in Lisbon, Portugal
• Escola Artistica Soares Dos Reis in Porto, Portugal
• Lycée des Métiers Jean Guehenno in Saint Amand, France
• I.A.T.A. in Namur, Belgium
• Scholes Technis Mokume in Thessaloniki, Greece
