The Glass Virus

The Glass Virus is a Think Tank for educational strategies

.

The Glass Virus was founded to stimulate the discussion about the future status of education in the field of glass art and strives for a new interpretation of glass in arts and design. 

To define what glass art is and what it can be in the future, it is important to identify the various positions in glass art. As a European platform, the Glass Virus will develop, share and sustain a dynamic debate about the future direction of education and research in the field of glass art, design and technology.


These conferences are aimed at exchanges between all academic glass art programmes, but are open to participants from all disciplines, artists, designers and other stakeholders. Our ambition is to create an internationally operating platform that focuses on expanding the strategies in glass art education.
The format of the Think Tank has been chosen because it focuses exclusively on the discussion between the participants and current topics in glass art and pedagogical practice.

The Think Tank has no audience. All participants are actively involved in the discussions and are encouraged to develop further-reaching activities.

We are convinced that advanced communication, exchange of expertise and an open educational structure will improve the potential of glass in arts and design.
