Welcome Home! We are embodied within spaces and places. We create places for ourselves and the places we live in create us. What questions can guide an artistic inquiry into themes of home, belonging, space, and place?
Join us for the 2025 Institute for Creative Teaching (ICT), where you’ll explore these themes through various disciplines that will nurture your teaching and artistic practices. You’ll be joined by keynote speakers Danielle SeeWalker and Helanius J. Wilkins, alongside other teaching artists and practitioners who will lead you through this hands-on experience.
This program is open to educators of all subject areas and grade levels. Participants will earn up to 21 hours toward educator re-licensure and will have the option of registering for 1 continuing education graduate credit from UNC for a small additional fee.
