Speakers
Description
Can we use art to improve the world and its social and environmental problems? To get closer to this somewhat exaggerated question, our panel will explore different principles and goals of sustainability and develop possibilities for art-based education for sustainable development. In times of climate crisis, the principle of sustainability is an important way of dealing with current global challenges. We will look specifically at how art teachers can be trained to deal with the challenges of sustainable development. On the theoretical side, particular attention will be paid to questions about the possible instrumentalisation of art and sustainable development for political or economic goals. With our different practical and academic perspectives, we will try to draw a broad picture of the relationship between art education and education for sustainable development. We would like to invite the panellists to discuss these transformative futures in art education with us.
