On 7-8 April I took part in Interchat symposium organised by Laundry in partnership with Birmingham City Council and The Drum where I led a discussion on international artist residencies. Interchat guests and speakers included: Airan Berg, Linz 2009 European Capital of Culture (Austria), François Matarasso (UK), Fundacja Pogranicze (Poland), Nova Kultura (Bulgaria).

On 23 January 2009 professor Zenon Bankowski from the School of Law at the Edinburgh University and myself attended a Legal Education conference at the UK Centre for Legal Education, University of Warwick. We gave a brief presentation about the Beyond Text project we have been working together on for the last year and showed a film documenting the practical workshops.
