GO-PAC is a meeting point for co-creation and the integration of knowledge in the service of education. In this first meeting, GO-PAC had the capacity to integrate not only knowledge but also institutions without distinction of factions or competition parameters. The academic and pedagogical community of Bogotá joined together to design a multidisciplinary, multicultural, and epistemological training route aimed at the new generations who will be protagonists in the world of art.

What I found most valuable about GO-PAC was sharing experiences, methodologies and best practices with fellow teachers. It is a great initiative that integrates arts educators, provides tools, and nurtures our passion for teaching. It helps us stay updated with trends and understand today's students. As educators, we can profoundly impact our students' lives and as we face daily challenges, having the GO-PAC community for support and guidance is invaluable.

It was really beneficial to find that in the arts we all have in common many, many concerns and that this collective will helps us to improve by updating ourselves, to come together and build a community… and I got a very interesting tip in the development of a class program which sometimes take a long time to develop a whole class. To be able to resort to new technologies to figure out how to make all the topics, the activities, consulting artificial intelligence for, in a matter of moments, be able to organize the entire syllabus of a class, of a course or semester.

…it was a very profitable experience, where several artist professionals gathered to discuss and share teaching methodologies and technological resources that will enable us to improve the process and adapt to new forms and generations. We also shared experiences and we understood the history of education; something indispensable to have points of reference and be able to access a broader vision of modern education.
