This peer-led professional development event represents an opportunity
for mid-career or senior colleagues to work together to:
– Reflect on aspects of current practice in gallery and museum
education
– Review current research and political agendas
– Learn about international contexts for gallery and museum education
– Network with UK and international colleagues
– Consider the role of artists working with participants
This year’s engage Summer School will be hosted by Falmouth University in Cornwall from Tuesday 8 to Thursday 10
July.
The Summer School programme will focus
on the theme ethics and activism in gallery and museum education and the
visual arts sector. As well
as a stimulating range of peer-led sessions and workshops around the theme, the
event will include a field trip to galleries and artist-led venues such as Tate
St Ives and Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden (details to be
confirmed).
This is an exciting opportunity to
take part in in-depth discussion, meet colleagues from across the UK and around
the world; potentially present or lead a session to develop your own
research/practice; and to find out about arts and education programmes in
Cornwall and the South West.
The cost of attending starts at £275 for non-members of engage, and £200
for members. For further information, including more details on the cost,
theme, programme, and making an application, visit the engage website (www.engage.org).
