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.
Each day will offer two workshops highlighting different aspects of sensory education. On day 1, you will experience what sound massage can do to the body and learn how to use ethnography as an alternative method of noting down learning outcomes. On day 2, you will work with voice and listening exercises that help students connect with themselves and their environment. Day 3 will focus on different forms of artistic research as an enrichment method for education.
We kindly accept your application via an email titled Senses Symposium to educatie@marres.org, stating your name, contact details, and the workshops you would like to attend. Joint registrations are welcome. Please note that we can accommodate 50 visitors per day. We look forward to having you!
