Modalities:

The World Summit of Arts Education ‘2023, with the aim of allowing international debate on the themes chosen for the event and sharing between the various cultures, will be organized in a hybrid format. Thus, participants will be able to choose one of the two types of registration that we will have available:

1) entirely remotely, will be carried out online using a unified communication and collaboration platform;

2) in person, with access to the program organized in person and held at a location to be defined, in Funchal, Madeira Island, Portugal.

In summary, the World Summit of Arts Education ‘2023 will be organized in order to allow interested parties to choose the registration method that best suits their situation: if you are in Madeira and want to have access to all the face-to-face and varied, theoretical and practical experience, should opt for the in situ mode; if you cannot come to Madeira, you can opt for the distance modality that will give you access to an adapted program. In both modalities, you will receive a certificate of participation in digital format.

It is in the ‘Plenary Sessions’, in the ‘Presentation Sessions’ and in the ‘Discussion Panels’, participants will address different topics related to the main theme of the summit. It is intended to create a space for sharing knowledge, practices and strategies between actors in the same area and, above all, to join voices and efforts to know the regional school reality and respond to the needs of students, teachers and schools and to improve arts education in schools and intercultural settings.
