Camila Caldeira Langfeldt

I am a PhD candidate in Arts Education at the Faculty of Education and Arts (FLU) at Nord University. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Education from the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR), Brazil, and a master’s degree in Childhood Studies from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).

My research is grounded in childhood studies and arts education, with a particular interest in dialogical, collaborative, and communal practices. I am part of the Horizon Europe project dialoguing@rts - Advance Cultural Literacy for Social Inclusion through Dialogical Arts Education. My PhD project explores the potential of arts education to foster community, belonging, and future imaginaries among children and families living in diverse social contexts marked by social inequalities.

I have experience conducting research with children in both Norway and Brazil, as well as professional experience working with refugees and immigrant children and adults in formal and non-formal education settings. I also have experience as a pedagogue in early childhood education and as a producer for artistic projects involving young children.

I am a member of the Music-related Learning Processes research group at Nord University, as well as the WorldViews research group at the Department of Education and Lifelong Learning, and the CODIC research project at the Department of Sociology and Political Science, both at NTNU.
