The workshop will
focus on the what, how and why of extending
arts-in-education practice beyond national
borders to advance 21st century learning.
Why
would an AIE project want international
connections? How
can AIE connect students in any community
to the global village? This workshop
will present and explore the what, how
and why of connecting AIE internationally.
We will explore how AIE is uniquely
positioned to deliver key 21st-century
learning outcomes. In break-out
groups, CommonGround's international
participants (in person and in web-cam
hook-ups) will share portions of their
work, after which each group will model
the impact of global learning through
engagement with the fifth of Howard
Gardner's Five Minds for the Future,
the Ethical Mind.
