CALL FOR PAPERS
Welcome to the 9th Interdisciplinary and Virtual Conference on Arts in Education. CIVAE 2027 is an international conference focused on the role of the arts in education through interdisciplinary research, teaching practices, and creative approaches.
CIVAE 2027 maintains its interdisciplinary focus on Arts in Education, with this year's edition placing special emphasis on STEAM education and the role of creativity and the arts in interdisciplinary learning.
The conference welcomes contributions from teachers, researchers, artists, students, and other professionals interested in the educational applications of the arts. Contributions may address areas such as music, dance, theatre, poetry, drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, cinema, philology, history, architecture, journalism, literature, philosophy, language learning, and other fields related to arts and education.
Participation in CIVAE 2027 may be as a presenter or as a listener. Presenters may submit an academic contribution in English or Spanish, while listeners may participate in the conference without submitting a proposal.
Conference Scope: CIVAE welcomes theoretical, empirical, and practical contributions exploring the relationship between the arts and education. Topics may include arts-based teaching and learning, creativity, interdisciplinary and STEAM approaches, arts integration across educational contexts, teacher education, innovative methodologies, digital technologies, cultural and social perspectives, and other areas connecting artistic practice and education.
Two contribution options are available:
- Option 1 — Full Paper: Full research papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings. Full Papers require a video presentation and are published in open access by Adaya Press with ISBN, ISSN, and an individual DOI.
- Option 2 — Abstract: Abstracts will be published in the CIVAE Book of Abstracts. They may be presented either through a video presentation or as a digital poster.
Full Paper submissions will undergo a double-blind peer-review process. Abstract submissions will undergo an editorial review to assess their academic relevance, thematic alignment, and suitability for the conference. Accepted contributions will be published according to the selected submission option.
