Lunch and Learn: Arts-based Pedagogy
Art-Based Pedagogy has roots in both Education and Psychology. It can also be a very powerful tool for emotional debriefing to build resilience in undergraduate nursing students. Using Art-Based assignments can compliment traditional teaching methodologies in preparation for real-world holistic practice. Art can help students reconstruct knowledge - which can strengthen their experiences and creativity. Join us in viewing Art-Based projects from a Nursing Ethics course, linking their lived nursing experiences to ethical issues in everyday practice.
"This experience will completely change your point of view on life."
What brought you to UPEI? Why did you choose to study here?
I was born in Syria and lived there until I was 4, then moved straight to PEI and have been here since. We moved here primarily for educational reasons and to have more opportunities for our future; however, the war started shortly after we moved here so we were very lucky.
