Research in arts education: new environments and challenges ahead

Investigate in art education was never easy, and certainly the difficulties are greater now. It has made progress in many ways, but currently do not have sufficient mechanisms to develop new tasks. We note that our presence is decreasing in the curriculum, and we have little presence on social or media level. Our area of expertise is facing a situation that is increasingly precarious, and we must be aware of the seriousness of this. The creation of interdisciplinary groups is essential. Openness to new areas of action has to implement a series of efforts that should be addressed with greater coordination. We need to internationalize the actions to find allies both in other geographies and in different policy areas. We must be aware of everything that has been achieved, but above all we must risk the future, in order to encourage new environments and open spaces for reflection, aware of our possibilities. We review here some of the achievements and develop new intervention proposals.
