This is the podcast that explores the journey of students and teachers of the Dance Education (DD) department at the Amsterdam University of the Arts with the Inclusivity Pathway Training (IPT).

The whole dance department participated in a research project with the Lectorate of Social Justice and Diversity in the Arts. The goal was to learn more about the IPT and how it could be beneficial for their profession. Students, teachers and researchers from the lectorate and a researcher from the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences worked and learned together. The research was financially supported by a grant from Center of Expertise for Creative Innovation (COECI).

In sharing this podcast we hope to inform you about the IPT and about the joy of exploring learning together.

Episode 4: Developing as a teacher
Welcome to the fourth episode of the IPT. Today we have a conversation with Marlie (DD4) and Maxi (Teacher). The IPT touched upon different aspects of development. Your position as a teacher but also as a private person is being dissected and reviewed. Where were the spots of development? How did the IPT make you notice that those areas were a bit dusty? We are almost at the end of our journey, looking back, what resonates with you the most? English. Hosted by Camiël Kesser.

Episode 5: Future of DD & IPT
Welcome to the fifth and final episode of the IPT. Today we have a conversation with only the teachers, Jelle, Samuel. Rose and Maxi. It's been an interesting journey. How did the teachers feel going on this journey together with their students? Are there similarities or opportunities that they've missed in their own time as students when they didn't have an IPT course? So looking at the future, where would they like to see the IPT take its place within the study course of DD. English. Hosted by Camiël Kesser.
