On the 4th of December 2023, during the 5th International Conference: “Literacy and Contemporary Society: Creativity, Equity, Social Action” organized by the Cyprus Pedagogical Institute, Cyprus Ministry of Education, Sport, and Youth, in collaboration with the University of Cyprus, our partners Center for Social Innovation – CSI , presented an activity based on the “CARE Manual on how to start ceramic workshops for the development of psychomotor skills” to be used for inclusive communication in formal or non-formal educational settings. The participants, comprising teachers and university students, displayed their interest in incorporating CARE activities into their teaching methodologies.

The highlighted activity underscored the importance of empowering learners to present the process and meaning behind their artworks. This not only fosters creative expression but also improves public speaking skills and boosts confidence.

In conclusion, CARE’s presence at the conference exemplifies a commitment to nurturing literacy, creativity, equity, and social action in contemporary education. As we explore innovative approaches to learning, initiatives like CARE contribute to a more inclusive and engaging educational landscape.
