Teaching Artistry for Community Building and Healing – A Beginners Guide (ITAC)Watch Peter's Think TankAbout the Project
Peter’s Think Tank focused on Teaching Artistry for community building and healing.
His Think Tank theme was: Teaching Artists as arts emergency surgeons for community healing and empowerment.
Peter invited participants to share the challenges facing their own local communities, while sharing his own stories and experiences.
The follow-up working group will aim to include people from a wide variety of local communities (from all over the world), that are facing their own unique challenges. What do we have in common? What is context specific? What can we learn from each other to help us address these issues?
This project will challenge working group members to identify other Teaching Artists within their local communities and begin to map ways in which they might effectively engage community members in creative change-making. The group will work together to support, and provide insights into, the ways in which the arts could be utilised to address their identified challenges. Participants will be encouraged to pilot community engagement methods, report back, and identify the approaches which have worked best in their own contexts.
The intended outcome of this project is the creation of small, local, community-engaged TA cohorts. The process by which these are built will be documented and made available online as a ‘how to’ guide for other TAs seeking to build and mobilise local community collectives.
We are delighted to be supporting this work and look forward to sharing more details with you soon.
Once the project begins, you can follow along on our social media channels for updates.
