Mindful Innovations
Collaborative
Action: Hands-on Team Planning
and Foundation Building
Genève Brossard
Teaching Artist, BRIC Rotunda Gallery |
The workshop session
will include a case study of planning
for school-wide implementation of the
partnership as well as hands-on, guided
foundation building.
We will
present a case study and timeline of
BRIC Rotunda Gallery's partnership
with Juan Morel Campos Secondary School
71, discussing each of the steps we have
gone through to begin school-wide implementation
and methods of tailoring these steps
to suit other partnerships. This presentation
will be followed by Q and A. The attending
partnerships will be given a worksheet
to help them begin planning foundation
building and implementation. Presenters
will circulate among the groups to offer
support and guidance. This small group
time will be followed by a sharing and
reflection session involving all workshop
participants. We will end
with a hands-on art making activity to
model possible collaboration techniques
to be used during the planning process.
