The publication Secure Learning and Culture Environments: Making Cultures in Art Schools shares some of the learning that has happened over the past couple of years in processes of formalizing social conduct and behavioural structures to create a culture of accountability and trust in shared spaces. Much of it is directed to the specific social and professional needs of working in art schools, but is also relevant in other organizations and communities.
