Walking, Drawing and Extending Sites for Learning

The University of the West of Scotland and the Festival of Dangerous Ideas host a day seminar on Thinking Dangerously in Teacher Education.

This seminar will use initial findings from a Creative Scotland funded cross-faculty research project within UWS, which set out to develop creative interventions across the curriculum through Walking, Drawing and Extending Sites for Learning, to engage education professionals and others in debate about future ways of learning.

The three methodologies of Walking, Drawing and Extending Sites for Learning were devised in response to the ‘change agenda’ in teaching and learning in Scottish schools, following the publication and implementation of the Donaldson Report, Teaching Scotland’s Future. 

The seminar will involve a number of presentations and activities from those involved in the project as well as a key note from the internationally renowned Professor Tim Ingold, whose work in the area of social anthropology inspired the project.
