engage International Summer School welcomes experienced educators, visual artists, curators and academics, working in the field of gallery and museum education and engaged contemporary art practice, to review and develop their practice during a four-day residential course.
This peer-led event represents an opportunity for mid-career or senior colleagues to work together to:
• Reflect on aspects of current practice in gallery and museum education
• Review current research and political agendas
• Consider the positioning of gallery and museum education within the cultural sector
• Learn about international contexts for gallery and museum education
• Network with UK and international colleagues
This year’s engage Summer School will be hosted by the University of Padua, Northern Italy, from Tuesday 10 to Friday 13 September. As well as a stimulating range of peer-led sessions and venue visits, the event will include a visit to the 55th Venice Biennale.

Delegates will lead or participate in peer-led sessions; visit galleries, museums and heritage venues in Padua; meet colleagues and hear about gallery and museum education practice from across Europe, particularly Italy. One day of the four-day Summer School will be spent attending the 55th Venice Biennale.
