The international conference "Cultural vehicles in education",
Vilnius, 10th-12th November 2008
The main aim of the conference was to gather feedback
from pilot courses held in each country as well as to promote
the project and test the new methodology. It was the final
conclusion of many discussions between the monitoring teams
in each country in order to work out the CVE approach.
Representatives of each discipline involved in the experimental
process (artists, educators, monitoring experts) were invited,
together with some participants of pilot workshops from
all countries), which made it possible to present the CVE
methodology from many different angles. Feedback from the
audience was gathered during the lively Q&A sessions
following each presentation, during practical workshops
in summing-up rounds and in the final questionnaires. It
was decided that the whole second day would be devoted
to CVE workshops run by 4 national teams, and the conference
participants were able to choose the one they wanted to
attend (German, Polish, Czech or Lithuanian), each presenting
findings from their pilot groups and providing hands-on
experience of CVE methods. This approach was an example
of active learning, an integral part of the CVE methodology.
The third day of the conference focused on placing the
new arts-based approach in a wider context of life-long
learning. Also, during the first and third day of the conference
(plenary sessions, panel discussion), some CVE methods
were implemented to stimulate the participants (for example,
the surprise factor - games were used to keep up the interest,
as well as artistic activities - singing during technical
breaks and dancing after the performance of Roma learners).
