The Campaign for Drawing International Conference
'Drawing for Learning, Engagement and Enjoyment'
7-11 October 2009, London
Join us for the first ever Campaign for Drawing International Conference
held in partnership with the Drawing Research Network, from 7-10 October
2009, in London.
This landmark event is a unique professional development opportunity for
cultural educators, teachers (in formal education and lifelong learning) and
artists from different countries to come together to explore drawing as a
tool for learning, engagement and enjoyment.
The dynamic programme merges Thinking through Drawing, the Drawing Research
Network annual conference, and The Big Draw, a two-day seminar led by Eileen
Adams, the Campaign's Power Drawing Director. It is a key opportunity to
hear from eminent practitioners, share experiences and network with
international colleagues, with optional evening activities at The Wellcome
Trust and the British Museum.
Coinciding with the Campaign's tenth birthday celebrations, the conference
includes visits to exemplar Big Draw events across London, including the V&A
and the Royal Academy of Arts, and focused discussion on engaging adult
learners and visitors with museum and gallery collections - through drawing.
Drawing for Learning, Engagement and Enjoyment has the full support of the
EU Lifelong Learning Programme. European residents from outside the UK are
eligible to apply for up to 1000 Euros of Grundtvig funding attend.
