SUMMARY:Breaking Barriers to Creative Learning Part II - Teachers' Conference
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”639362″]The Open Window  Teacher’s Conference aims to bring together educators\, researchers\, and practitioners in the field of creative arts education to explore innovative strategies for making the art and design curriculum more accessible to diverse learners. The conference will provide a platform for knowledge-sharing\, practical workshops\, and panel discussions that address challenges and opportunities in art education. \nDate: Friday 29 August\nVenue: Open Window\, Blairgowrie\nCatering: Lunch \nTheme Exploration in the Programme: \nThe programme of Breaking Barriers to Creative Learning Part II aims to explore how we as educators can make the art and design curriculum more relevant to diverse learners within a local context. Whether we lecture future teachers or reach high school learners directly\, how do we actively guide our students to truly care about and engage with the curriculum in a meaningful way? \nBreaking Barriers to Creative Learning Part II offers the opportunity for discussions on decolonising the curriculum—or rather\, approaching the curriculum in a decolonised manner—alternative and non-traditional methodologies of teaching that cater to different learning styles and abilities\, creative problem-solving\, addressing barriers to accessibility in arts education (including socioeconomic and cultural factors)\, the integration of digital tools and emerging technologies in arts education\, and more! Join us as we foster collaboration among educators\, institutions\, and industry professionals to enhance curriculum development and showcase best practices in inclusive arts education.[/vc_column_text][vc_button button_color=”color-964060″ border_width=”0″ link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.openwindow.co.za%2Fbreaking-barriers-to-creative-learning-part-2%2F91729%2F|target:_blank” button_color_type=”uncode-palette” uncode_shortcode_id=”572048″]VIEW PROGRAMME[/vc_button][vc_button button_color=”color-197804″ border_width=”0″ link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fforms.gle%2FxrMfapMq6c5PHJXs8|target:_blank” button_color_type=”uncode-palette” uncode_shortcode_id=”208973″]BOOK YOUR SPOT[/vc_button][/vc_column][/vc_row]
