Submission formats

Academic paper (20+10 min)
Presentation on academic paper is the traditional contribution to congress. Content could still be a mind blowing.

Round table presentation (20 + 20 + 20 min)
If you have an interesting sub-theme or you are a collective with ideas to share, round table presentation could be your format. Round table starts with your 20 minute introductory presentation. Next, the audience divides in to small tables for a 20 minute discussion. The session ends in a 20 minute shared conversation and feedback.

Brainstorming presentation (10 + 20 min)
Brainstorming is a good format for example to test new project or research ideas among professionals. Organizer committee engourages for example students to share their novel ideas. New networks and collaboration around brainstorming may appear.

Visual short presentation (6,4 min)
Visual short presentation is slideshow, which is very suitable format for example to make outcomes of project work visible. Focus is on visual material.

Workshops (30 min)
Hands on or Brains on workshops collect professionals to work together for a half an hour. Materials by fasilitator.

All participation formats require conference participation and conference fee payment.

These different types of presentations will make it possible for the audience to enjoy academic “battles” as much as visual based presentations. Debates, round table conversations and “brainstorming” sessions will offer room for new ideas to appear among researchers, teachers and project workers. Throughout the Congress, the audience will actively engage in conversations. Keynotes will be offered, as well as invited talks and debates between internationally well-known art educators and/or artists.

The Congress organizing team’s passion is to create a forum for fruitful discussions, dialogical encounters, and interventions to astonish. The goal for this InSEA congress is to offer possibilities for intercultural conversations on most current and burning issues in contemporary art education. If art education will have even a slightly renewed meaning for the participants after the congress, we have reached our target!
