As e ducators/learners from diverse backgrounds and experiences\, we engage in discussions about the integration of threads in our educational practices and beyond\, specifically addressing the following key questions: 1) Have you ever incorporated thread-based activities into your teaching/learning\ , or outside of educational settings? 2) In what contexts have you utilize d these activities? 3) For what purposes have you used threads\, both as a metaphor and in actual practice? Building on both literature and real-lif e experiences shared by the facilitator\, we explore how various educators have creatively incorporated fiber crafts in both educational and researc h contexts. This discussion will pave the way for an experiential activity involving finger weaving/knitting\, allowing participants to experience f irsthand the multisensory and interconnected nature of learning. This appr oach goes beyond cognitive functions\, exploring how deeper learning inter twines with social\, emotional\, and embodied experiences — what we perc eive through the tactility of working with threads. Note: For this session \, please bring a skein of yarn or a similar thread long enough to use in our hands-on finger weaving/knitting activity. Get ready for a fun\, activ e\, and collaborative experience! Session recording now available!
