Creative Workshops
Creative workshops provide a unique and engaging approach to research and learning by incorporating creative art-based techniques. These workshops are designed to inspire creativity, promote critical thinking, and encourage multidisciplinary collaboration. These are some of what we offer and the help we provide.
Workshop Topics: We offer support to identify specific themes or research areas where art can enhance understanding, such as visual storytelling, data visualization, creative writing for research, graphic recording, or collaborative art projects.
Workshop Format: We help to determine the duration, format (in-person or virtual), and group size suitable for each workshop. Consider incorporating hands-on activities, group discussions, and expert facilitation to maximize participant engagement.
Learning Outcomes: We help with the clear definition of learning outcomes for each workshop, emphasizing the development of creative research skills, fostering innovative thinking, and enhancing participants' ability to communicate complex ideas effectively.
Materials and Resources: We provide a list of necessary materials or resources participants will need to bring or have access to during the workshop. We offer supplementary resources, such as reference materials or online tools, to support continued learning beyond the workshop.
Research Training
Our research training programs aim to support academics, doctoral students, and other organizations in developing their research skills and methodologies. By incorporating art-based approaches, these training sessions can offer a fresh perspective and alternative methods to traditional research practices. Here's an outline of what we could offer:
Training Topics and format: We help to identify specific areas of research methodology, such as qualitative research, data analysis, literature reviews, research design, or ethical considerations, where art-based approaches can add value. Also, we encourage individuals and organizations to self-determine the format and duration of each training session, considering options like workshops, seminars, or online courses. We provide support to create a comprehensive curriculum that covers the identified research topics.
Expert Facilitation: We, as experts in the field, provide a list of experienced facilitators who have expertise in both research methodologies and art-based approaches. These facilitators are skilled in guiding participants through the integration of art and research.
Practical Exercises: We help organizations in the incorporation of practical exercises and case studies that allow participants to apply the art-based approaches to their own research projects. Encourage discussions and peer feedback to foster collaborative learning and knowledge exchange.
Supportive Resources: We provide participants with supplementary materials, such as handbooks, toolkits, or access to an online learning platform, to support their ongoing research training needs (Canvas, Google and other Mooc platforms, etc.).
Public Speaking - Conferences
Public speaking at conferences offers the opportunity to share our collective's expertise with research and offer insights with a wider audience. By incorporating art-based elements into our presentations, you can captivate and engage your audience while delivering impactful messages. We can come to your university or institution to deliver keynote speeches or plenary sessions.
Presentation Topics: Organizations can determine the research areas or themes so our collective can identify the most relevant topics for conference presentations. Consider how art-based approaches can enhance the presentation's content and delivery to any organization.
Visual Aids and Multimedia: We provide visual aids, such as infographics, illustrations, or videos, to enhance the visual appeal and comprehension and understanding of the topics. As an artistic collective, we incorporate artistic elements that effectively communicate complex concepts and data to your audience.
Engaging Storytelling: We utilize and develop a compelling narrative structure for our presentations that incorporates storytelling techniques. Use art-based elements to evoke emotions, create connections with the audience, and ensure the core message resonates with your audience.
Interactive Elements: For us, it is important to consider integrating interactive elements, such as live demonstrations, audience participation activities, or facilitated discussions, to actively engage conference attendees and encourage knowledge exchange.
Post-Presentation Resources: We typically provide attendees with access to supplementary resources, such as slide decks, handouts, or additional materials, to support their understanding and further exploration of the presented topics.
