Artist Educator CPD: Disability and access in the classroom with Phoebe Kaniewska

, to In this workshop participants will hear from artist educator Phoebe Kaniewska on access needs and inclusivity in the classroom, accompanied by an engaging badge-making workshop. In this taster workshop, Bow Arts will be opening our Artist Educator CPD programme to invite artist educators, artists working in education and people who are curious about art education to join our thought-provoking and inspiring sessions. We’re inviting potential collaborators, colleagues, and members of the existing artist educator community to come together to meet one another, practice and learn new skills. About the workshop In this session, we will take a look at how badges can help us explore identity- especially for those with disabilities and access needs. Using text and image as tools, we will think about access and inclusivity and make our own badges that promote this as part of a hands-on workshop. Alongside the activity, Phoebe will give a presentation on disability, access needs and inclusivity in classroom settings and beyond. What is the Artist Educators’ CPD programme?
