Artful Creations: Learning-Tales of arts-in-business

Lotte's book offers a very comprehensive look at the fascinating field of arts-based learning. It's filled with inspiring stories about arts in business as well as the theory that sits behind arts-based learning. One of the exciting things about the book for me is that many of the photographs featured are taken from the Arts and Business Conference - IDRIART (Initiative for the Development of Intercultural Relations through the Arts) held in Slovenia, Castle Borl which I was fortunate enough to attend.

It was at this conference I had the opportunity to meet an amazing group of people working in the field of arts and business. This included Miha Pogacnik a truly gifted person, violinist and Cultural Ambassador of hte Republic of Slovenia, Linda Naiman from Creativity at Work, David Pearl The David Pearl Group, Otto Scharmer co-author of Presence with Peter Senge, Tim Stockil CI: Creative Intelligence, Lotte Darso Learning Lab Denmark. This is just a handful of highly creative and truly inspiring people that attended this most extraordinary event.
