Also on Wednesday, September 4th:
In the afternoon, from 16:30 to 18:00 (doors open at 16:00), three parallel workshops will take place in the Culture Club and Learning Lab at the Marineterrein.
*Highlights from our work include developing a social justice approach in the arts aimed at transforming arts education and society. We've worked with dance students to foster skills in creating inclusive spaces, explored migrant barbershops as places of wisdom, founded a protest choir to harness the power of collective singing, developed a module for inclusive teaching, and explored gentrification from the perspective of migrant communities.
