Theme: The Arts emphasize a multiplicity of methods and worldviews.
This International Caribbean Symposium will honour and address the explorations, methods and pedagogical practice that facilitate the acceptance of diversity in human relations within our communities and
societies-in-crisis.
Key Questions:
• What are the universal elements of perception and communication in Caribbean arts education?
• How can we honour and promote community based, national and regional forms of expressions in arts education?
• How can we build a regional and an international culture of arts education advocacy?
• What are the current social, political, religious, cultural and educational circumstances that shape our specific practices?
• How do we balance the traditional with the innovative?
• How do we facilitate trans-disciplinarity?
Structures:
Papers or other presentations relating to the Symposium theme: (1.5 hour sessions): An opportunity for participants to address the diverse elements of the Symposium that are subsumed under the general theme; to consider aspects of practice and reflect on theory; to promote and prompt areas for research and practice. Papers are limited to 20 minutes in length so that speakers and audience may have time for conversation.
Workshops (1.5 hours in length - Pre-Symposium or during the Symposium week) - Facilitators will provide participants with an outline of the workshop, details of instruction, and/or additional resources.
Roundtables (1.5 hour sessions): An opportunity for groups of 6 people, each with a 10 minute presentation on some aspect of their theory or practice to share their work with each other and a small audience. An internationally recognized moderator will facilitate and respond to the presentations.
Poster sessions (2 hours) An opportunity for participants to display in visual form their research and/or work. Presenters will be available to discuss their posters for a 2-hour period at a time when all Symposium participants are free to attend.
