2nd International Student Scientific and Practical Conference “Art Education: Theory, Methodology, Practice”: Event Highlights

On November 5–6, 2026, the Department of Theory and Methodology of Teaching Art Disciplines at Berdyansk State Pedagogical University (BSPU), headed by Associate Professor Olena Buzova, PhD in Pedagogical Sciences, hosted the 2nd International Student Scientific and Practical Conference “Art Education: Theory, Methodology, Practice.”

The conference proceedings were organized into breakout sessions addressing key areas of contemporary arts education:

• Arts education in the context of European integration, globalization, and multiculturalism
• Arts education in Ukraine under martial law
• Modern technologies and methodological approaches in arts education
• History and traditions of Ukrainian arts education

The event brought together participants from Ukraine and abroad. The international community was represented by the Private Licensed Educational Institution “Slavic Music School” (Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada), the Xi’an Middle School of Music and Art (Shaanxi Province, China), as well as international students currently enrolled in Ukrainian higher education institutions.

Despite severe power supply disruptions, participants were able to join the scientific discussion in the virtual hall (watch the recorded discussion here: https://surl.li/aosqat) to share their findings and original research projects.

We express our sincere gratitude to all the students and their academic supervisors for their productive scholarly and creative collaboration, as well as their dedication to new discoveries and successful initiatives in the arts.
