PIMDI: A pedagogy of imaginative dialogues
The Erasmus+ strategic partnership developed a pedagogical approach and framework of “imaginative dialogues”. This pedagogy takes the (potential) tension between incompatible differences as a productive and engaging starting point in order to open up a dialogical ‘third space’ between them.
Introduction
Drawing on the resources available in the field of arts education, this Erasmus+ strategic partnership developed a pedagogical approach and framework of “imaginative dialogues”. This pedagogy takes the (potential) tension between incompatible differences as a productive and engaging starting point in order to open up a dialogical ‘third space’ between them. The aim is not to overcome or mediate these differences, but to let them co-exist in a shared ‘third space’ in which the contrast between them can be played out in a fruitful and non-violent manner. During the project, experiences and experimental practices have been documented as well as the reflections upon them. This resulted in the writing of a series of theoretical and descriptive papers, the development of a format for multimodal reflective documentation, the articulation of an initial methodology, the establishment of a framework for a curriculum, and the collection of some concrete exercises and propositions in a digital toolbox.
