ORANGE Regional: Children's Rights in Everyday EC Practice Through the Creative Arts

This workshop with Dr Amanda Niland will explore inclusive approaches to creative arts for children aged from birth to five years. Art forms including music, dance, visual arts, drama, storytelling and puppetry offer potential for all children to connect and communicate with others, and to feel a sense of belonging. Join us for a hands-on, interactive workshop centred around elevating children's rights.

This potential is only realised with intentional use of inclusive pedagogy. Participants will be introduced to the Lundy model of participation, which can be used to honour children’s rights to be included in every aspect of curriculum in early childhood settings. This model will be used to explore ways to develop practical inclusive strategies for children’s participation in arts experiences.  

In this session you will:

  • build your understanding of a rights-based approach to inclusion
  • unpack the Lundy model of participation as applied to the creative arts
  • explore practical strategies for developing inclusive arts experiences

Recommended audience: Teachers, educators, educational leaders, directors, room leaders
