MegaMEET LUCA conference 25/01/2024 about WELL-BEING

A great day to learn in a great place to work!  
This internal professionalization day offers every LUCA staff member the chance to learn together about big and small issues that concern our learning community today. Students are also welcome to join. 
This edition is shaped by the Education & Quality department in collaboration with the Educational Master of Audiovisual and Visual Arts and the Sustainability & Diversity coordinators. We choose the overarching theme of Wellbeing to bring up a number of topics. Under the headings of attuning, appreciating, time & space and slowing down, we wish to shed light on our education and the services that help make that education possible from various perspectives. 

tuning
An actual teaching practice is attuned to the group sitting in front of you. This is no longer a homogeneous audience but a collection of individuals with different needs, expectations and sensitivities. Being allowed to be who you are is a first step towards a diverse learning community. Equally important is to recognise and be recognised yourself in that community. Using a variety of identification options, students and staff learn to work towards an inclusive curriculum, didactics and policies. 

appreciating
'A great place to work' assumes an appreciative approach within all the relationships that emerge in the learning community. A feedback culture that keeps the trajectory of students and staff moving positively. The sessions address appreciation from the manager, between employees, feedback between students and teachers and the lack of appreciation for employees who remain invisible.  

space & time
Sometimes it is necessary to empty a space, other times you need to fill a place to the brim to have impact. Variations in the relationship between space and time are necessary to allow the taking of various positions (consciously or unconsciously). How a person encounters and experiences the world is strongly determined by the way reality presents itself to that person. With new perspectives and handles, space, time and the movements that exist between them are made more visible. 

slow down
Slowing down contains a spectrum of necessities. It is about spending time with artistic, educational and intellectual materials in the classroom, the studio or on location to really get to learning with each other. It is about choosing ecological approaches and opening up to other processes and outcomes. There may also be room at school for self-care and reconnecting body and mind.
