What's at stake for children's cultural lives today?
Whether your passion is for teaching Shakespeare, embracing new and emerging technologies or developing arts practices, this international conference has you in mind.
It marks the coming together of powerful debate from across the globe, live and rich provocation from pioneering international practitioners and thinkers, and the unprecedented collaboration of four major UK arts institutions to shape dialogue and a shared experience.
What place then, for Shakespeare and the arts in young people's learning? Why is now such a crucial time to be exploring the impact of the arts and the value of children's cultural experience? Book now to join artists, practitioners, teachers and cultural professionals from around the world in exploring these questions.
Worlds Together offers two parallel programmes - one specifically exploring the worldwide influence of Shakespeare in education, the other looking more broadly at contemporary arts education practice. Crucial for us is the coming together of these strands each day for shared exchange in our brand new space The Tanks at Tate Modern.
Contributors include Roy Ascott, Eric Booth, Elisa Bracher, Susanna Chung, Michel Groisman, Shirley Brice Heath, Brad Haseman, Ian Middleton, Michael Morpurgo, Carla Rinaldi, James Shapiro and Steve Seidel. Click here for the full list of contributors.
Conference fee includes lunch and refreshments, free entry to the Damien Hirst exhibition at Tate Modern plus the British Museum's exhibition; Shakespeare: Staging the World, National Theatre discounts and more. Spaces are limited.
Arts Council England is working in partnership with Tate to offer a number of bursaries (at least 50% reduction) for England-based delegates. Find out if you are eligible and how to apply (PDF, 11Kb)
Worlds Together is hosted in The Tanks at Tate Modern – a new space opening in 2012 and the Clore Learning Centre. Workshops will also take place at the British Museum and the National Theatre.
