Sign yourself and your colleagues in education up for the Training the Senses Symposium!
On June 4, 5 and 6 from 4-7pm, Marres and the six European partners of the Erasmus+ SensesSquared project will organise the Training the Senses Symposium: a three-day program filled with workshops and trainings teaching you to enrich your teaching practice by implementing sensory and embodied learning.
Training the Senses Symposium will take place at Marres and aims to get primary and secondary school teachers, pedagogy students, and educational workers from the arts and culture sector to creatively think about teaching practices by way of sensory trainings.
Participants are free to choose their own schedule, meaning that you can attend single workshops on different days, or follow a full day program. All workshops are exclusively taught in ENGLISH and participation is completely FREE OF CHARGE.
