The game involves creating a character and starting to play the first level, “School”. Different choices need to be made, but the problem arises when the game does… Continue reading Lisa Wilén

Based on interviews with art teachers and students in the upper-secondary aesthetics programme, I have examined the word inspiration and the perceptions surrounding it in the subject of art.

What ethical problems will arise when combining live sheep, felting, arts education… Continue reading Elin Riis

We can find ourselves in uncomfortable roles or end up in positions where we become defensive. Sometimes we end up without any new perspectives or without having received anything helpful from the conversation. During… Continue reading Camilla Schiller

What determines when someone dares to speak their mind? I have asked students and young adults what they think about topics that are difficult to talk about and what it takes to dare to speak up. During the process I have tried to understand how we can use the students’ thoughts in our everyday lives… Continue reading Belinda Morén
