Groupwork Program, looking through art in dialogue
(in Japanese only)
The sessions as below will be held in the training program.

Groupwork
We split the participants in groups so that the teachers, museum curators and supervisors are mixed, and hold a workshop in the museum gallery. The participants experience looking at art through dialogue and share ideas with people who have different backgrounds. Through the workshop, they discuss deeply about how children can engage with art.

World Café
In the last session of the two days, participants review and discuss what they have learned through the training program and then think about what they can do from tomorrow when they return to their fields.
-
Lectures
We hold lectures under various themes, such as “Engaging Art at Schools” or “Art in Social Issues”.

Case Study Presentations
We introduce good practices of children engaging with art, which are held in museums or schools.
