What is art-based learning? And how can art-based learning workshops be successful virtually?In this episode of workshops work, I find out how we can facilitate deep insights through art and how to overcome the challenges of shifting this intimate workshop experience from a physical museum to a virtual one.Here to answer all of my questions is Roumayne Schepers, an art-based learning facilitator at LerenVanKunst.nl. Roumayne speaks passionately about her role and reveals how she uses art-based learning to help people develop personally and build strong bonds with their teams.Listening to her processes was fascinating, and I was especially interested to hear how she’s successfully managed to transition her workshops from in-person to a fully online experience. I hope you find this episode as eye-opening as I did and encourages you to approach art in a new and exciting way.Find out about:What led Roumayne to art-based learning and why she’s considered a facilitatorWhat art-based learning is and what it aims to achieveHow participants grow, and often surprise themselves, through the learning processHow to shift art-based learning from a museum to an online spaceHow to facilitate the online transition from a personal to a group experienceWhat art-based learning can bring to a teamHow to facilitate a safe space for sharing ideasWhat to bear in mind if you’re considering using art in your workshopsDon’t miss the next show: Subscribe to the show with your favourite podcast player.Questions and Answers[01:10] – When did you start calling yourself a facilitator?[02:47] – How did you go from the pharmacy to the museum?[05:44] – What does art-based learning mean?[07:47] – What is art-based learning’s goal?[12:26] – How do you choose the artwork?[13:59] – How do you choose the question?[16:25] – How does art-based learning work online?[17:56] – How do you guide the group from a personal to a group experience?[22:08] – Is it beneficial if learners know the artwork already?
