CAT Conversations: CALL FOR NOMINATIONS
The editors of The Canadian Art Teacher (Marie-France Bérard and Amy Atkinson), in collaboration with the Canadian Society for Education through Art (CSEA), are launching a new initiative called CAT Conversations—and they’re looking for educators like you (or someone you know!) to be involved.
What’s It About?Twice a year, CAT Conversations will bring together five art educators from different provinces/territories to share their thoughts, experiences, and insights in a relaxed, online conversation. This is a chance to amplify teachers’ voices and celebrate the meaningful work happening in classrooms across the country.
What Do Participants Receive?Each selected participant will be:
First CAT Conversation: October 16th at 4 PM (Pacific Time)
Presentations can be formal or informal (like a great staffroom chat!) and are 10–15 minutes long, with time for Q&A from the audience. The next conversation is Spring 2026. You will be chosen to participate in one of these!
Know someone who should be part of this?You can nominate a colleague or yourself using this short form: Nominee Form
Please submit your nomination by Oct 8, 2025.
