iJADE Conference, NCAD Dublin, 17 – 18 November 2017
Lisa Jacques, Schools and Projects Co-ordinator, Attenborough Arts Centre (July 2017 – March 2018) had the pleasure of presenting the Unlocking the World through Art: A Sensory Atelier project at the The Eighth iJADE (International Journal for art and design) and NSEAD (The National Society for Education in Art and Design) International Conference.
This year’s conference was held at the NCAD (National College of Art and Design) in Dublin, with the theme of art and design as agent for change. There were a total of 33 countries represented at the conference!
“Social justice has become a growing focus for many educators and practitioners in the visual arts, and the idea of art and design having agency in the process of social chance has gained traction. This year’s iJADE conference addresses this agency in the context of art and design and education.” – NSEAD.
