The conference is titled Art Education in the Time of Coronavirus, Reflecting on Today, Anticipating Tomorrow and we are currently organising it in cooperation with our colleagues from InSEA, USSEA, and the Canterbury Christ Church University. The conference will be held from 12 to 15 October 2020 exclusively on this web platform: https://www.inseaconference.com/
The conference will be free of charge for all active and passive participants.
We would be delighted if you could participate actively in it.
If you or your colleagues decide to participate, your contribution to the conference can be variable; it can be a combination of formats. For example, it can be a recorded video with a presentation (with a textual form attached to it), a brief video-greeting in which you refer to your text-based or image-based contribution, it can be an invitation to a 'live' real-time presentation that will be streamed on YouTube or Zoom, etc. However, we prefer contributions that are prepared beforehand, as we are aware of the various time zones of the conference participants and for fearing technical failures. For more details, please see: https://www.inseaconference.com/for-authors

International webinar addressing "Arts education in humanitarian aid” 
Saturday 23 May 2020 from 16:00h to 17:30h  CEST

The WAAE webinar aims to exchange experiences and expertise on arts education in humanitarian programmes. It is recognized that artistic practices are a source of well-being and would develop this potential, particularly among young people and children in war zones and situations of displacement (refugee camps, etc.).  The emergency humanitarian system offers child protection programmes and education programmes in emergency situations conducted by United Nations organizations and international and national NGOs. These programmes often rely on artistic practices to develop non-formal, alternative and more responsive methods of education. Through this webinar, we propose to three participants who have conducted and/or observed workshops on artistic practices in the framework of humanitarian interventions to share their practices, their reflections on the issues at stake and their advices. The webinar is targeting national/local policymakers and stakeholders, international and regional art organizations, artists; art educators; social workers; academics, and students.
Facilitator: Albane Buriel, Ph.D. candidate in Educational sciences, Université du Québec à Chicoutimi (UQAC, Canada), Consultant in Education, Conflict and humanitarian emergencies
Speakers

• Manon  Le Flour, Mental Health and Psychosocial Coordinator
