ITAC8 opens with a dynamic opening ceremony, setting the stage for concurrent workshops that spark exploration and exchange. Each day features two interactive sessions alongside thought-provoking keynote presentations.
Day 1 - Arts & Education: Learning reimagined - from participants to creators
Teaching Artistry redefines how we learn - from classrooms to orchestras, from STEAM to storytelling. Across formal and informal learning contexts, artistic practices unlock new forms of knowledge, imagination and co-creation, where participants become creators of their own learning.
Day 2 - Arts & Care: healing through creative connection
Art as a driver for care, wellbeing, and human connection. This theme explores how artistic practices create space for inclusion, mental health, healing, and resilience - from individual experiences to collective care.
Day 3 - Arts & Civic Engagement: fostering dialogue and societal change
Art as a catalyst for civic engagement and societal change. Engaging with themes such as conflict, identity, social justice, and sustainability, Teaching Artists explore how creative processes foster dialogue, active participation, and strengthen community connections. The day will culminate in an inspiring panel discussion and a closing ceremony, bringing the energy and insights of the conference to a powerful close.
