Is there a space for creative students to take risks in their learning at university?How do we understand and experience risk taking within students' learning and practice? What teaching approaches support (or not) the possibility of 'positive' failure?
We would like to invite you to join us to explore these questions at our forthcoming symposium. We will focus on how risk taking is supported within a structured academic learning environment and how it is understood both in the context of the quest for innovation and the 'new,' and in relation to societal change and entrepreneurship.
This symposium is part of the UAL Teaching Platform Series. In these events we explore contemporary issues in art and design education. The event will offer keynote input and hands-on workshop activity.
Who should attend?
Creative educators who are interested in the idea of risk taking and improvisation in art, design and performance education. This event is open to both UAL staff and external attendees.
Cost
This event is free. Lunch is included.
