Learning
The series of special discussions with authors and artists and workshops designed for school groups focuses on developing empathy through the sharing of personal stories. The workshops utilise the successful methodology of the international educational project Narrative 4, co-founded by renowned Irish author Colum McCann, a member of the honorary board of the FALL festival. As part of its interdisciplinary programme, DOX expands on this methodology by interconnecting the visual arts and literature.

FALL FOR SCHOOLS AND PROFESSIONALS
As part of the festival programme, there will be special student discussions with authors and artists every weekday, followed by interactive workshops focused on developing empathy. The workshops are based on sharing personal stories, and they utilise the successful methodology of the international educational project Narrative 4, whose co-founder, Irish writer Colum McCann, is also a member of the honorary board of the FALL festival. As part of its interdisciplinary programme, DOX expands on this methodology by interconnecting the visual arts and literature. The programme for professionals includes presentations and workshops for teachers, librarians, and other interested individuals.
DOX & CREATIVE LEARNING
DOX’s educational programmes aim to help young people develop the skills they need to find their way and function in the twenty-first century. We thus use art as a means to foster critical thinking, empathy, creativity, civic engagement, and other essential skills. We embrace the approaches of creative education and build on the curriculum framework in order to enable educators to naturally integrate our programmes into their lessons. We have been committed to education since 2008, and DOX hosts over eight hundred educational and family events each year. We teach with art primarily through educational programmes that fall into four basic thematic spheres.
