Opening
Spaces for EDITuesday, 25 April 2023
13:00 - 15:00 CEST
During the ELIA Biennial Conference in Helsinki
in November, it became clear that arts education professionals were dealing with a range of EDI-related issues depending on
context – institutional, regional, societal, etc. Since then, the
EDI
Working Group has discussed how the
Platform
for EDI can be of significance to our international colleagues in supporting you in (y)our wishes and efforts to further equity,
diversity and inclusivity at ELIA member institutions.
There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to engaging
with equity, diversity & inclusivity, so the goal for these online sessions is to open a space in which we can share and
learn from each other.
Join us for an open conversation where you can raise issues related to EDI and inquire about
the approaches other art schools, academies and art universities have adopted in a variety of contexts. Be inspired to share
good practices with your peers. We undoubtedly have a lot to learn from each other and it does not matter whether your institution
is still in the early stages or already has an advanced policy plan for EDI in place.
The first session will be
led by EDI Working Group members Cecilia Roos from
Stockholm
University of the Arts and Ali Şahin from
Willem
de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam and will take place on Zoom. We look forward to creating this space for sharing and openness
with you.
Registration for this event is open to all ELIA members and is free of charge!
