To all educators, arts practitioners, scholars, therapists and artists,
 
On behalf of the organising committee, I am pleased to announce the very exciting and innovative 2008 International Symposium: Re-imagining Special Education through Arts Therapy and Arts Education to be held in Melbourne Australia, 26-29 July 2008.  
 
Traditionally special education has provided a modified mainstream experience for students with special needs. Recent research and exemplars of good practice illustrate the importance of a paradigm shift in the delivery of special education. There is a growing national and international awareness of the need to develop new strategies. Special education through the Arts delivers a sensory approach to learning assisting students to move from the non-verbal to the verbal, from being an observer to a participant and to fully awaken student potential. These changes have been realised through the power of the Arts intertwined with Arts Therapy.
 
This Symposium will provide learning opportunities for participants to explore and discover the processes and programming required to re-imagine special education.
 
The Call for Contributions is now open.  It would be appreciated if you would forward this email to relevant persons within your organisation, and also forward it throughout your professional networks.  If you have a newsletter, publication or noticeboard it would be appreciated if you could include the notice above.  The Call for Contributions Application Form and ads promoting the Call for Contributions can be directly downloaded from http://symposium.portphillip.vic.edu.au/Call_for_Papers/
 
Thank you for your assistance at this time,
 
Regards,
