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.
