Bow Arts Educators’ Conference 2025: Teachers
Thursday 13th February 2025 , 10:00am to 5:30pm
Reimagining an art curriculum for all
Join us for a full day of presentations, workshops and discussions on reimagining what the art curriculum can be, and how teachers can consider and integrate diverse perspectives, approaches and art forms in the classroom. We will explore how to build a culturally rich and innovative art education together which is relevant and inclusive of the children and young people in our schools.
Who is it for?
Teachers across primary, secondary and SEND settings. Also open to artist educators who would like to develop their creative educational practice in the visual arts.
Conference Programme
Led by experienced teachers, educators, artists and consultants, the conference will:
- Explore innovative ways of nurturing an art curriculum that is inclusive and representative of student communities, underpinned by a range of artistic practices
- Encourage discussion and learning around the evolving role of diversity in art, and how frameworks can help integrate and sustain diversity in the classroom
- Empower teachers and educators to widen their knowledge of art and develop their teaching strategies for engaging diverse student groups
The day will include a choice of workshops, and networking for participants.
Lunch will be provided, and refreshments will be available throughout the day.
The full programme will be available to view and download in January 2025.
Booking will open Wednesday 8 January 2025.
More about Bow Arts Learning
At Bow Arts, we believe in the right of every child and young person to have access to arts and culture and the positive impact this has. Against a challenging climate for art education, our programme strives to deliver innovative projects which have real impact for children and young people.
We are an arts and education charity which works with artists to deliver an innovative programme of workshops, projects and training in schools. We work collaboratively with schools to create bespoke projects that meet the needs of students, making arts learning accessible and inclusive.
This conference series gives us the opportunity to reflect on our programme within the context of the wider art curriculum and consider what the future of art in schools could be, in what feels like a pivotal moment for education.
