Abstract
Since 2012, the cooperation between the Faculty of Choral Conducting, Church music, Artistic education, Eurhythmic and Jazz at the Academy of Music in Gdansk, and the Faculty of Music University of Arts in Belgrade has been started. Intensive activity between our faculties led to the successful application for the Erasmus+ Programme in 2016. In the frame of the programme the exchange of teachers from both institutions was realized. The main aim of our cooperation is to spread Emile Jaques-Dalcroze's Eurhythmic method through the selected Dalcroze's exercises in music schools in Serbia. Systematic cooperation led to the interdisciplinary research named "The impact of Dalcroze's exercises on the stress and anxiety reduction", while at the same time, basic exercises of Dalcroze's Eurhythmic becme a starting point for the implementation of the scientific research "The influence of Eurhythmic method (selected tasks and exercises of Dalcroze's method) on motor skills and a sense of pulse". The first pilot study will be conducted in 2017/18 in Music school "Dr Vojislav Vučković" in Belgrade and it is the part of a broader interdisciplinary project "Introducing Dalcroze's method in solfeggio classes in Serbia".
