How do we foster belonging in creative educational spaces?​

Fostering Belonging & Compassionate Pedagogy is a strand of staff development at University of the Arts London (UAL) that supports the elimination of the awarding differentials between home students of colour and home white students. We understand the phenomena of belonging as an affective and transitory concept that can be lost and found on a student’s journey. We present our curated podcasts of contributions from education professionals and Alumni from across the globe to explore the affective power of listening to polyvocal artefacts to construct dialogic relationships and to support staff challenge normative beliefs and practices.
