WUS Austria and PATTERNS Lectures took part in the 8th ELIA Academy in London
London. WUS Austria and PATTERNS Lectures took part in the 8th ELIA Academy on the topic "What’s going on Here? Exploring Elasticity in Teaching and Learning in the Arts at Central Saint Martins in London from 5-7 July 2017.
PATTERNS Lectures contributed with a session on "Is teaching always political?" which caught large attention from the audience and triggered good discussions. We will be taking the topic further at the PATTERNS Lectures final conference in Vienna on24/25 November 2017.
The ELIA Academy brings together lecturers from Higher Arts Education Institutions who want to share ideas and practices with like-minded colleagues from across Europe and beyond.
During three days we examined elasticity as a core momentum in today's learning and teaching in higher arts education, and explore this theme from four different angles:
- curiosity
- hybridity
- research
- social change
A wide variety of engaging presentations by keynote speakers, lecturers, artists and designers sparked in-depth discussions and exchange of ideas. Expect workshops, panel discussions, paper presentations, performance lectures, visits in the city and much more, as well as professional networking.
