ELIA Academy 2019

What’s going on here? Decoding Digitality in Higher Arts Education.

Many students and teachers are embracing new forms of digital arts and digital practices; these new, blended practices extend conceptions of creativity. This topic of digitisation will be the focus of the 9th ELIA Academy.

The 9th ELIA Academy offers the chance to debate, analyse and reflect on the challenges and opportunities across all artistic disciplines and teaching approaches.

The programme will also feature interactive presentations focused on a number of common keywords, each connected to a specific aspect of digitalisation. Delegates will be able to navigate their own digital path through the Academy by exploring one or several of the following topics:

Emotional Experience / Immersion
Critical Attention / Scepticism
Societal Impact
Developing Digital Pedagogies
Digital Fluencies
Research / Methodologies
Storytelling / Narrative
History / Foundations / Roots
