Summary:

This book features international and interdisciplinary research into socially engaged, relational and critical creative practices. It comprises a range of authors who bring diverse cultural perceptions to bear on critical creativity and social learning through arts-based research practices and creative pedagogies. This network of authors from organisations and universities across Europe, Palestine and Japan have shared their research through RECAP (Research into Education, Creativity and Arts through Practice), a progressive arts-based research centre coordinated at the University of Chester, UK. The book is in two parts; the first, Culture and Community, comprises chapters that cover creative pedagogies in teacher education, languages, urban development, risk, creative writing, storytelling and educational ecosystems; the second, Methods and Models, consists of chapters on creative methodologies, graphic novels, poetry, children's voices, social trauma and performance, play rituals, management innovation and drama and theatre in education
