The Luso-American Development Foundation (FLAD), the University of Lisbon (ULisboa), and the Polytechnic Institute of Setúbal (IPS) launch next Saturday, the 4th, the free open course “Arts and Cultures in Education: knowing, experiencing, awakening”, a pilot project aimed at future educators and teachers, which will run until the 13th of May.
The training, which includes four teachers from the Escola Superior de Educação of the IPS, coordinated by Joana Matos, aims to encourage contact with the arts, through an organized sequence of artistic visits, interspersed with moments of reflection on the role of arts and cultures in education, as instruments of communication and encouragement of inclusion and respect for diversity.
Its aim is to combine artistic experience and practice with theoretical reflection, as well as to establish itself as a space for dialogue between artists, arts professionals, higher education teachers, researchers, and future teachers in training, in order to stimulate the development and the implementation of new approaches in the classroom. It will therefore have the contribution of several guest artists/authors, namely Martim Sousa Tavares, Afonso Cruz, Sandra Vieira Jurgens, Zia Soares, and Dino d´Santiago, representing the domains of classical music, visual arts, literature, performing arts, and art and inclusion.
The course launch session, where the project will be presented and framed, is scheduled for 10:00 am, in the FLAD Auditorium, with the presence of the president of IPS, Ângela Lemos, and the vice president for Teaching and Learning, Rodrigo Lourenço.
