EduFringe Scotland

Day 1: 11:00 - 11:30 - Rockfon and Glasgow School of Art 

Rockfon has teamed up with the Glasgow School of Art for the Learning Places Scotland event, showcasing original work from two of its students, Betty O’Connell-Rogers and Hana Aarow printed onto Rockfon Canva 1200 x 900mm acoustic panels.

Betty O’Connell-Rogers is an artist from Brighton who moved up to Glasgow to study Fine Art Photography at the Glasgow School of Art. Betty is mainly interested in capturing everyday human behaviours. The image, titled; ‘A Herd’ originated from her intrigue on how people flock together to certain places on certain days, like herds of sheep or bird murmurations. Making the people silhouettes creates this idea of a group, despite their individual shapes and lives we walk past them, only seeing the crowd.

Hana Aarow is a Scottish photographer based in Glasgow. He is in his fourth year of study at the Glasgow School of Art and enjoys working across both digital and analogue photographic forms, often in mixed media. Aarow uses photography for fine art projects based around his interests such as true crime and rock and roll music, as well as for documentarian purposes such as at concerts and exhibitions. He also enjoys taking pictures of the world around him and things he finds beautiful, of which the one shown here, ‘Leaf’ is an example.

Betty and Hana will be joining us at 10.45 - 11.45 on Tuesday 19th to meet those interested in learning more about their work.

Day 1: 11:00 - 11:30 - Meet the Experts: Drs explain the social media problem and why we're all so stressed!

Informal presentation by our founders (medical doctors) detailing the science behind the effects of social media (and general overstimulation in the digital era) on the mind and body and why this is causing problems within education, the workplace and for healthcare. We will create a moment of calm and demonstrate techniques for countering stress.

Hear the healthcare perspective, from the front line, on the growing mental health crisis in young people today.

Day 1: 13:00 - 13:30 - Announcing Tigtag is now part of ClickView

Tigtag and Tigtag Junior have been well loved and used across Scottish primary schools for many years, including at one point all schools benefitting from this when it was funded by Scottish Government. ClickView is now the new home of Tigtag and Tigtag Junior. This session will provide confidence for schools in the continuity of service but also highlight the wider benefits schools would now receive as part of their subscription. This session will also draw upon research to highlight safeguarding risks schools are facing with video use and show how ClickView is mitigating such risk for 100s of Scottish schools.
