Participatory art as a methodology for educational change

• In my PhD-thesis named 'Relational Creativity' I am researching the potential of using participatory art as a transformative methodology in design for creative learning environments. In practice I have investigated the possibilities of using a participatory art project to influence university education from within. My preliminary results indicate that participatory artistic methods include the potential of transforming a learning environment to becoming a more inclusive system. I therefore suggest that participatory artistic methods can be used to investigate other ways of understanding educational processes, and for building alternative educational models and relationships, as proposed in the framework for this summer workshop. I certainly agree with the organizers, that we need to get together to share our knowledge about new ways of doing research. In this paper I propose as a topic of discussion, that one of the challenges for us, is to find ways to communicate and share the knowledge emerging from these new transformative and inclusive methodologies, as practitioners and researchers.How can we find ways to share and communicate (describe, analyse, discuss and validate) the rich variation and complexity of transformative research methods emerging in the contemporary fields of artistic, arts-based, educational and social sciences?
