Science, Arts and Argumentation for future-making Education (SAAFE)

Bringing together science and technology, arts and argumentation, creativity and critical thinking to create an amalgamate for future-making and sustainable education is what we thrive for. Particularly the role of inquiry and aesthetic forms of knowing as well as the latest didactic findings inform our research. At the same time, results obtained from research flow directly into our teaching.
