Conference: Think_Together Arts Education, Resilience and Sustainability
The OeAD and EDUCULT invite in the framework of ENO to the conference and exchange of
practice ”Think_together arts and cultural education, resilience and sustainability” in Vienna.
Together with European researchers as well as teachers, artists and cultural educators from
Austria, the conference will discuss which practice and perspectives arts and cultural
education is developing for a resilient and sustainable approach to transformations.
Starting from the acute crises with global effects – climate change, pandemic, war in Europe
– this question will be explored on a systemic and on a practice level.
On a systemic level, the concept of resilience – understood here as the robustness, coping
capacity and also learning ability of systems – is closely linked to the concept of
sustainability. Sustainability can only be achieved if ecological, social, economic and cultural
aspects are taken into account. Which sustainable strategies (such as promoting structures
instead of promoting projects) can support resilience in the field of cultural education?
At the same time, arts and cultural education can contribute to the individual resilience of its
agents as well as its learners. But what do spaces for action and ways of working in cultural
education actually have to look like in order to be able to cope with difficult life
circumstances? How have they already changed and what role does the aspect of
cooperation play in this?
Interested teachers, artists and arts mediators are cordially invited to participate!
