Our annual conference brings together art educators from across the UK, from all phases and sectors engaged in art, craft and design education. A key event in your calendar, the conference is your opportunity to keep up to date with the latest developments for our subject, connect with others and exchange ideas.
Creative Curriculums: Care, risk and courage
Creative bravery is central to art, craft and design education. As teachers of art, craft and design we navigate risky territories of practice. We encourage our learners to take creative risks, experiment, think critically, face challenging issues and be comfortable with uncertainty. How do we ensure that we are able to nurture creative courage, whilst maintaining our classrooms and studios as safe spaces for us and our learners? And we ask, how might our subject help us preserve our health and well-being in the face of societal and global challenges
This conference invites us to consider creative, personal and professional risks that we encounter in our practice as educators, and the ways that we can navigate them with care and confidence.
The programme combines inspiring presentations with the latest research and information to help you and your learners. Workshop sessions will provide an active space for you to develop your own professional practice, with learning that you will take directly back to the classroom and studio.
Full programme details will be shared soon.
