Also in this session, two teaching artists look at ethics, respect and community protocols when working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. They touch on the importance of place and history, which will be explored in more depth in the SOH course. Also covered is how to identify and respond to individual participants’ learning needs.

Session 4: Collaboration and Co-Creation (October 30, 2024)
This session investigates key aspects of collaboration and co-creation by examining an arts-led children’s symposium. It explores the development and delivery of the symposium with a focus on the collaboration and co-creation between teaching artists, children and professionals from multiple disciplines. In particular, this session focuses on how teaching artists deliberately seek to foster in participants a growth mindset essential for both collaboration and co-creation. A growth mindset is characterised by an openness to new ideas, enquiry, wonder, questioning, challenging, acknowledging and embracing imperfections, and viewing the process as more important than the end result.
