AES collaborator participated in the conference of International Society for Education Through Art

majaLisbon, July 2015. The InSEA (International Society for Education Through Art) conference Risks and Opportunities for Visual Arts Education in Europe took place in Lisbon in the period 6-10 July 2015. The event addressed current problems and alternative models of artistic education and education through the arts in Europe in formal, informal and non formal contexts, through practice informing research. The conference integrated room for dialogue and reflection through oral presentations as well as virtual presentations in the blogosphere, exhibitions, workshops and performances. The conclusions of the conference have the form of a declaration for art education advocacy purposes. A declaration intended to reply to official discourses about art education, education through the arts and the arts in education (UN Global Education Goals, Education, sustainability and the post-2015 development agenda, OCDE and EU Reports). Art based methods in adult education are often used in addressing issues such as conflict resolution and human rights. Adult Education Society supported participation of its collaborator Maja Maksimović on the conference. Maja, assistant professor at the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Belgrade, gave a presentation on how drama and movement can be used in adult education to work on gender equality.
