EPTA for learners
How it was:
Education through art for instructional designers

The program was created in order to take a break and rethink the fundamental constructions that are important for any person in the field of education.

We will look at learning role models, paradigms, and learning models from very different angles. In order for our journey to allow us to go beyond our own boundaries, we will use the Education Process Through Art method of metaphorical learning.
What is EPTA?
This is an experiment with metaphorical learning, an art quest, where art objects temporarily become the personification of adult learning models.
The project participants will study the history and idea of art objects in relation to educational models and literally live them.
We believe that the program will not only become a good bulkhead, but also fill all participants with new dreams in their professional field.

The project was conceived by the curators of the Dedu Center team Renata Gizatulina and Victoria Deryugina in August 2018 and was first held in the Nikola Lenivets art park in the Kaluga region under the name Art of Education.

In July 2019, we held a program in Venice with the support of the European Cultural Academy.

Since September 2019, the program has been called "Education Process Through Art" (EPTA).
