The Seoul Educators Workshop (SEW) 2010 in alliance with Lincoln Center Institute for the Arts in Education (LCI) is a professional-development project with an international scope. Based on the imaginative education philosophy underlying LCI’s International Educator Workshop (InEW), the SEW with LCI workshop has an ambitious agenda: it intends to challenge arts educators of all genres to not only define their goals in relation to an arts education with a new perspective, it will also ask them to define their new role as individuals and as members of the community.
Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture (SFAC) as a leading institute of promoting art in education in Korea lunches this project in its attempt to localize LCI InEW workshop model at Korean settings and further develop as an alternative model for Asia Pacific Region. The LCI consultants were invited to Seoul especially for this occasion. The workshop will be guided by 6 LCI TAs (teaching artists) under the supervision of their Director of Strategic Alliances of LCI. This workshop provides an opportunity to experience top-notch teaching techniques of esthetic education and explore local resources for arts in education through working with world-known Korean art works, Woyzeck by Sadari Movement Laboratory and installation art works of Ahn Soo-Jin. This workshop model has been developed primarily with their teaching artists in mind; seventy TAs from the Seoul City region and other Asian-Pacific countries are expected to attend. It is the first workshop of this kind for a Korean audience. .
SEW 2010 in alliance with LCI is a cooperative pre-event on the occasion of the 2nd UNESCO World Conference on Arts Education.
