A Stream on “How Arts Can Change the World”
as part of the 10th Annual International Conference on Visual and Performing Arts
10-13 June 2019, Athens, Greece
Sponsored by the Athens Journal of Humanities & Arts
The Arts & Culture Unit of ATINER is organizing a Stream on “How Arts Can Change the World”, 10-13 June 2019, Athens, Greece as part of the 10th Annual International Conference on Visual and Performing Arts sponsored by the Athens Journal of Humanities & Arts.
The panel “How Arts Can Change the World” is intended as a challenge and an opportunity to analyze in what ways arts can change the world, from a scientific, a historical and a philosophical perspective. Scientists, researchers and specialists in the fields of arts, history, antropology, ethnology, literature, psychology, diplomacy, sociology, philosophy, culture, media, marketing and communications are invited to discuss this topic. Throughout history, arts are known to have given testimony of the past and to have changed the perspective of the world’s social developments. Arts document history and they have the power to inspire, educate and motivate people to solve social problems. The goal of this panel is to encourage a holistic and multidisciplinary scientific approach of the ways in which arts can affect positively the world. The outcomes of this panel discussion could be implemented in the developing cosmopolitan society, to raise awareness about social problems, such as children’s education, children’s work, racism, discriminations, human rights on all levels. We are inviting artists, scientists, educators and researchers to participate in this panel and challenge us with insightful remarks, and with creative and innovative ideas on how arts can contribute in the construction of a trully cosmopolitan, cultivated, peaceful, worth living world.
You may participate as presenter of one paper, chair or/and organizer of a session, or observer.
Fee structure information is available on www.atiner.gr/2019fees.
Special arrangements will be made with a local hotel for a limited number of rooms at a special conference rate.

Details of the social program are available here.
