The Art of Wellbeing
Keynote Speakers: Patricia Piccinini and Henry Ward
Explore ideas and strategies on how art and art-based learning can empower your students through nurturing their capabilities, creativity and resilience.
Learn from contemporary artists who tell stories through their practice; and hear from leading educators with evidence-based messages of how using arts-based pedagogies can support schools – build connections, inclusion and student voice.
