Support like no other
In a world where it’s possible to learn a craft through YouTube or diagnose your symptoms through google, this talk examines how we learn and create in the 21st century.
What to expect?
This talk unpacks the idea of support by exploring the role, importance and changing types of support systems that appear in the contemporary, networked world.
Coinciding with the theme of support, it will ask about the physical and long term relationships traditionally created through mentor schemes and whether they are still viable. This diverse panel of self-learners, digital educators and traditional crafts people explores the seemingly clashing worlds of self-teaching enabled by the internet and the open access to knowledge and the traditional transfer of knowledge from master to apprenticeship.
