The Leonardo Education and Arts Forum (a working group of Leonardo ® /ISAST), and the ISEA Education Workshop in partnership with the MCA and the National Institute for Experimental Arts (NIEA) at COFA, UNSW, continue its successful international education event-initiatives. We are organising a forum to build on previous events in sustainability, transdisciplinarity post media assimilation, art and science cloud curriculum that is linked to a developing body of knowledge in the area of Science, Technology, Art, Engineering, Art and Mathematics (STEAM) and Science, Engineering Art and Design (SEAD).
This workshop will address and encourage participants to share experiences and difficulties encountered while confronting problems facing art education, ecology, and the the clouding of knowledge when meshing curricula from diverse fields. The workshops are developed by invited local and regional experts. Each presenter is selected for their experience and will give a short introduction on the topic.
