About this event
As a society we're facing multiple threats from a variety of angles.
The climate crisis is developing at an alarming speed; likewise the cost-of-living crisis is a constant worry for many. The arts are currently facing negative discourse from a government that devalues the arts in Higher Education and doesn't champion the Creative Industries as a valid and viable career choice. Similarly, we must be mindful of the increasing vulnerabilities of students, and the exponential rise of AI – an entity that’s unclear whether it's friend or foe.
In this inspired and innovative talk, Dr Kevan Manwaring will explore alternative pedagogical structures and approaches based upon the natural world, offering a fresh perspective that could future-proof campuses, curricula, and the whole endeavour of education amid a blizzard of shifting variables.
