A space for everyone!

Organized through various types of sessions, the current structure aims primarily to allow all interested participants to present their projects and research, promote broad debate on the themes chosen for the event, and encourage the sharing of experiences, methods, and projects among participants. It is frequently structured in a dual attendance format, in-person and remote, in which participants may choose one of the two registration modalities:

a) In-person, with access to the full program, across several venues that allow all activities to be carried out in the best possible way and according to their specific characteristics.

b) Remote, through a unified communication and collaboration platform, offering a more limited program with fewer experimental activities (workshops, edition fair, artistic moments) – only available to participants residing outside Madeira.

The Congress offers three days of activities, including a wide range of workshops in the various artistic and multimedia fields; keynote lectures delivered by internationally recognised experts, addressing the main themes selected for each edition of the Congress; dedicated sessions for structured panels and free paper presentations; book and publication launches; and a social programme featuring artistic performances, a publications fair, and the presentation of the Arts Education Award, which annually recognises an organisation, school, or project, as well as an individual teacher for their outstanding contribution to Arts Education.

In summary, the International Congress on Artistic Education is organized in a way that allows participants to choose the registration method that best suits their situation:

  • If they are in Madeira or able to travel here and wish to access the full and varied experience—both theoretical and practical—they should choose the in-person format.

  • If they are outside Madeira, they may opt for the remote format, which provides access to an adapted program that is more theoretical and less experimental.
