CPD event for Primary Teachers 23 June 2022

Art Education in New Times: Connecting Art Education with REal Life Issues (CARE)

We would like to invite you to join us for an exciting day of CPD, based on the CARE research project.  We will look at how art – especially contemporary art – can be used as a learning vehicle for Education for Sustainable Development.

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) empowers learners to take informed decisions and responsible actions for environmental integrity, economic viability and a just society, for present and future generations, while respecting cultural diversity. It is about lifelong learning, and is an integral part of quality education. ESD is holistic and transformational education which addresses learning content and outcomes, pedagogy and the learning environment. It achieves its purpose by transforming society. (UNESCO, 2019)
