The open form of art used in teaching and the work of visual artist Jan Pfeiffer inspired us to develop innovative approaches in individual and group work with students with special needs at the Faculty of Education of Charles University. We engaged these students in project, art and research practice to improve their facilitation, affirmative and effective negotiation skills. The images above document a recording of one meeting that had to be held online due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Meeting participants asked each other questions about learning needs and strategies, critically reflected on their experiences, recorded and analyzed them. They then formulated concrete steps that both they and the faculty and instructors could take to improve their relationships with each other and to achieve greater educational impact. Several times their work was turned into a work of art.
