Peace | iJADE conference 2024
7 - 9 November 2024: This year’s conference will be held online and in partnership with Liverpool Hope University.
This year’s conference theme offers a particular focus on the peace agenda as it has become more prominent in all forms, levels and dimensions of education. We are pleased that this theme has stimulated such a diverse range of engaging interpretations from our presenters.
In response to UNESCO’s recently published peace education strategy (UNESCO, 2024), we might consider the extent to which art and design education play an active role in the promotion of forms of peace that expose the roots of inequality and oppression, or for imagining a just ‘new world’ (Darder, 2009)? With this, what are the implications for art and design educators offering spaces to critically examine the conditions in which peace either thrives or diminishes? What role can art and design play in actionable, socially-just peace?
