ELIA’s Equity, Diversity & Inclusivity (EDI) Working Group invited the community to the third EDI Online Session: Teaching in Different Gears, which took place on Thursday, 25 January, from 13:00 - 15:00 (CET) on Zoom.
This session picked up a thread from the conversation on Inclusive Curricula during the second EDI online session. Exploring the
practices and challenges of teaching inclusively, focusing on the learning experience instead of the learning outcome, we invited participants to share ideas on access, inclusion and ways of knowing more relevant and reflective
of the world we inhabit, and the student population.
During this interactive session, participants had the chance to share their perspectives and examples of inclusive teaching. Together we explored how we navigate the space of an inclusive classroom, how do we recognise and value different types of
knowledge, recognising that creativity depends on these.
Participants also had the opportunity to listen to experiences and case studies from other ELIA member institutions.
We encouraged participants to share your practices in this discussion, with the hope that your insights will inspire others. We strongly believe that valuable lessons can be gleaned from each other, regardless of whether your institution is in the early
stages or has already implemented an advanced policy plan for EDI.
All ELIA members were welcome to join and participate!
This conversation was led by the EDI Working Group members, Mata Ayoub, from Kingston University London, Kingston School of Art and Cecilia Roos from
Stockholm University of the Arts.
Please note that registration for this event was open to ELIA members and is free of charge.
