Join artist and educator Eva Jonas, Teaching Assistant on the Gallery’s Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) in Photography programme. Eva will share her insights, talking about her own experience of supporting and leading workshops for pupils on our EPQ. Eva Jonas will be joined by Kairo Urovi, a Photographer and alumni of TPG's Develop collective. Having previously worked together on the EPQ programme, where Kairo contributed as a mentor, Eva and Kairo also collaborate regularly on youth and photography programmes for organisations including Photoworks.
We will open the discussion to hear others’ perspectives including some of the opportunities and challenges these collaborations hold.
By reflecting on the value of collaborative working at a deeper, inclusive and pupil-centred way, we hope to develop a series of jointly-written, practical tips for future collaborations.

Kairo Urovi
Kairo Urovi (b. 2000, Fano, Italy) is a visual artist and educator based between Essex (UK) and Shkoder (AL). With a focus on printed matter and community-led approaches, their work explores transness, queer identity, and the shifting lines between truth and fiction. Blending documentary and conceptual approaches, Urovi often reimagines archives and personal histories to question how identity and histories are formed. Recent exhibitions include solo shows at Bazament Space (Tirana) and KOPPEL Collective (London).
Who is this session for?
This session is for artists and educators working in creative facilitation, arts organisations interested in developing or learning more about EPQ programmes, and teachers or cultural practitioners working with artists in secondary school settings. It will be particularly valuable for those interested in collaborative, pupil-centred approaches to arts education and partnerships between schools and cultural organisations.
