Exchange and CSM to co-host prestigious ELIA conference in 2017

We are delighted to announce that the Teaching and Learning Exchange and CSM will be co-hosting the ELIA (European League of Institutions of Arts) Academy Conference on 5-7 July 2017. Titled: What’s going on here: exploring elasticity in teaching and learning in the arts, the conference will focus on teaching and learning in the arts, with sub themes on curiosity, research, social change and hybridity.

Dr Silke Lange (Associate Dean Learning Teaching and Enhancement at CSM) and Professor Susan Orr are keen to bring in contributions from students and staff across UAL and will be setting up a UAL group to support the steering group’s work. We will post further information about the conference shortly, but in the meantime have a look at this short video from last year’s conference in the Netherlands to give you a flavour of the event.

Several UAL colleagues attended the conference last year and were very impressed with the quality of debate and the creativity of the workshops and speaker contributions. As a result of our experience we pitched to ELIA and are pleased to bring this important teaching and learning international conference to UAL in 2017.

Please contact Katharine Dwyer if you would like to be involved in the UAL group: k.dwyer@art.ac.uk
