We warmly welcome you to join us and the exhibiting artists at the free opening event of Gathering Ground, an exhibition which focuses on the intersection of the climate emergency, with issues of equity and social justice through art.
The exhibition and private view offer teachers a chance to acknowledge the climate anxiety many, especially young people, are experiencing. Join us at this event to discover and share creative ways to support your students in navigating the climate crisis through art.
This Teachers’ Private View is hosted in partnership with Climate Adapted Pathways for Education (CAPE). CAPE is an alliance of researchers, educators, schools, and partners across the UK who are working to change today's education for tomorrow's climate.

Who is this event for?
The Schools and Teachers team believe that all young people should see themselves reflected in everything they encounter, both at Tate and in their classrooms. Working with teachers to best support young people to thrive, we celebrate difference and take a proactive, anti-discriminatory stance in all that we do.
We particularly welcome teachers from the Global Majority, disabled teachers, and teachers in SEND schools or alternative provisions to attend.
This event is relevant for teachers of any subject and will bring together professionals at any stage of their career, from a range of learning settings and specialisms.
This Teachers' Private View is supported by Open Hand.
