Theme 2025: Vectors of Hope

By
  • illustration educators

This years theme explores how innovative teaching models and progressive pedagogic frameworks are shaping illustration education for an uncertain world. Through a series of online collaborative events, workshops, and discussions, we’ll share ideas and practices that propose new approaches, and reflect on how we can nurture adaptive creativity at every stage of life. By connecting educators, practitioners, and researchers, we'll continue to create spaces for open dialogue, hands-on exploration, and collective learning—helping to shape the future of illustration education in a way that’s responsive, inclusive, and forward-thinking.  

Sharing ideas and resources is key to achieving our aims and building a supportive community. The illustration educators website is a publishing platform that builds connections between us and publicly advocates for our interests and concerns. Members are also invited to submit resources that they have authored in response to the theme.
