Conference program

The 2012 conference goal is to define a framework for engaging diverse audiences through multimodal experiences, and to identify new trends and innovation in learning and museum practice. Sessions will address inclusive and multisensory learning environments and strategies, particularly in relation to the arts and museums. Discussions will focus on experiences that involve touch, sound, smell, movement, drama, and modes of learning.

Since its inception, this conference has been a forum for cross-disciplinary creative thinking and the exchange of ideas. The aim is to continue to foster dialogue between diverse disciplines, such as neuroscience, cognitive psychology, education, museum studies, disability and cultural studies, technology, architecture, product design, and media art.

Furthermore, on the 25^th of October, Halldóra Arnardóttir, will give a presentation on the project to the guides at MoMA , in order to exchange knowledge and experiences around the Museum projects.
