Mark your calendars, we have a handful of upcoming, free IB Exchange webinars: 12 May - Visual Arts - In Conversation with Kapwani Kiwanga In this webinar, artist Kapwani Kiwanga will discuss her research-driven artistic practice, in which she draws on methodologies from disciplines such as anthropology and history. While these fields provide formalised languages and structures for conducting inquiry, the responses she develops are made possible through artistic forms and visual language.

To navigate the complexities of resource availability and climate change, students must hone the ability to identify uncertainties, model systems, and navigate tradeoffs, developing a sense of environmental agency for collaborative, constructive, and pragmatic problem-solving. This webinar introduces a free inquiry-based curriculum, Scientific Thinking for All: A Toolkit, based on an interdisciplinary University of California, Berkeley course, Sense & Sensibility & Science, both spearheaded by Nobel Laureate Saul Perlmutter.

The aim of this webinar is to reframe 'culture' from assumed knowledge into a visible, critical lens that can guide students to both develop and demonstrate not just cultural knowledge but also intercultural competence.
