Objectives of this workshop
Connections between Digital Practice and Pedagogy
Through games, activities and provocations, this session seeks to find points of connection between digital practices and pedagogy, paving the way for dialogue and possibilities in and beyond the classroom.

Hybrid Forms of Teaching and Learning Practices
Reflecting the tensions between 'live' and 'liveness', participants will have the opportunity to consider hybrid forms of teaching and learning practices that will hopefully, lead to the new creative interfaces that reflect the changing climate.

Using New or Popular Technology
There will also be a focus on using new or popular technology to harness and develop personal voice and engagement with civic matters for teaching artists.
