Catalysing Creative Futures – Call for Papers

The International Journal of Art & Design Education (iJADE) is seeking abstract submissions for a special issue called “Catalysing Creative Futures.” The call invites scholars, educators, and creative practitioners to envision the next decade of creative education (2030‑2040), addressing topics such as futures thinking, creative practice, pedagogical innovation, learning ecosystems, AI‑human collaboration, and equitable access. Submissions should explore how art, design, and related creative disciplines can shape policy, curriculum, and practice in an increasingly digital and interdisciplinary world. Abstracts are due by 30 November 2026, after which selected authors will be invited to submit full papers for publication in the special issue. No submission fee is required, and accepted papers will be published in iJADE, providing visibility within the international art and design education community.

Publication of accepted papers in the International Journal of Art & Design Education (special issue); potential open‑access options.

Open to scholars, educators, and practitioners in art, design, and related creative disciplines; no specific age or nationality restrictions mentioned.
