SenseSquared – Becoming through the senses: towards artistic ways of being in the world
Abstract
How can a sensory approach and an artistic attitude contribute to an education that leads to a more connected and sustainable world? This is the question that brings together each of the 6 European partners of SenseSquared, a project from Belgium, Portugal, Denmark, Norway and the Netherlands. All the partners are strongly rooted in the arts, are passionate about the significance of the arts for education, teacher training and related research, and are deeply committed to exploring and demonstrating the value of artistic approaches to education together. The main aim is to show that a sensory approach, based on artistic attitudes, can and even should become the core of all education. SenseSquared emphasises how the need for social change relates to the nature of education today.
