On October 24th, the first constitutive meeting of a joint Universeum and UMAC working group for Teaching With Objects took place. The goal for this working group is to take editorial responsibility for the website www.teachingwithobjects.org and organise community-oriented events – such as one to two workshops per year. On this first meeting, 27 participants enthusiastically discussed ideas and practicalities for this initiative, and agreed to found this Working Group. 

Join in!

Teaching with Objects is looking for enthusiastic members to join the working group and the editorial board. Help enlarge the community and build the content of the website!
