The Queensland Dance Education Conference 2024 is an annual professional development event for dance educators and teachers in QLD, produced by Ausdance QLD in association with our Ausdance Educators QLD subcommittee.
QDEC24 will be run over two days on the 10th & 11th of May 2024, in Magan-Djin/Brisbane and 2 regional locations Thul Garrie Waja/Gurrumbilbarra/Townsville 15th May 2022 and Gimuy Barra/Cairns, 17th May.
The purpose of QDEC is to challenge, enrich and educate dance teaching professionals. In 2024, the scope of the conference includes learning content for primary, middle, and secondary dance educators in all schooling sectors, and independent studio & freelance teachers.
The theme of this year’s conference is “Future Focussed”
You’ll listen to speeches, panel discussions and presentations (both of creative works and on current issues in dance education) and actively participate in practical dance classes. There is a focus on integrating grassroots First Nations perspectives and addressing the key curriculum requirement of embedding First Nations perspectives into teaching in schools.
Some sessions of QDEC23 may be webcast for regional participants and a resource pack - pending Cultural ownership, copyright, acknowledgement, and permissions – may be provided by presenters.
