The discussion of Community Arts as a discipline in Higher Education continues to develop. The aim of the Conference is to contribute to the developing discussion on the study of community arts in higher education including both undergraduate and post-graduate levels.

We aim to bring together the international community breaking new ground in the teaching of Community Arts in Higher Education. It will consider models of practice, especially in relation to socially inclusive and emancipatory practices in both pedagogy and wider aspects of delivery and engagement.

The conference will seek to explore creative ways of enhancing the teaching of community arts at higher education level, that highlight the transformatory and life affirming practices of community arts practice.
