The Skills Framework for Arts Education launched in September 2023, outlining career tracks and information on necessary skills for various roles in arts education.

What does this mean for arts educators like ourselves?  

Join a diverse group of panellists from the arts education and career development sectors in a panel discussion on navigating the Skills Framework. How do arts educators like ourselves utilise the Skills Framework to map out our career paths? How can this be translated into tangible actions? What gaps are there, and how can we navigate them?

Each panellist represents a different cross-section of stakeholders and will provide a range of perspectives to help us better understand how we can maximise the newly published Skills Framework for arts educators.
