Pop Up Lab 2017 invites you to explore ‘Visual Storytelling’ on 29th & 30th June
Pop Up Lab is an innovative 'practice-sharing' conference for teachers, educators and literature professionals.
Focused on engaging young readers and writers with literature, this year’s Lab focuses on ‘visual storytelling’ – the reading, reaching, making & publishing of illustration and comics – in the UK and internationally.
Hosting from The overall theme of Lab 17 is ‘reading and making visual stories with and for children and young people’ split into two days with focus on comics and illustration creation; digital visual storytelling, new tech and innovation and international and multilingual.
Facilitators and attendees include teachers, authors, publishers, literature producers, and children’s literature organisations from 10 countries.
Attendees will be able to choose up to 6 sessions per day from a packed programme of 30 hands-on workshops, demonstrations and conversations with 28 organisations and individuals. Many sessions are artist-led. Attendees can explore several strands running through the visual storytelling theme – including ‘digital resources and practice’, ‘language and translation’ and a strong international presence – but you do not need to be experts or practitioners in those fields: because Pop Up Lab is cross-sector space in which to explore and experiment, share practice and learn new things.
