Artists-in-Schools Program
The Artists-in-Schools Program is a Creative Education Partnership initiative of the Australia Council for the Arts, in partnership with artsACT and the ACT Department of Education and Training.
The Artists-in-Schools Program seeks to give young people and their school communities the oppotunity to work with practicing artists and to learn more about the creative thinking process. It also aims to increase awareness of the role of artists in the community and their work. The Artists-in-Schools Program:
-
Gives ACT artists the oportunity to broaden their exeriences and share their skills
-
Gives ACT students more exposure to the arts
-
Enables ACT educators to build their capacity to collaborate with artists and arts organisations to support and resource teaching and learning, including assessment procedures of creative learning
This initiative complements other programs funded by the ACT Government that engage artists and teachers in professional learning and deliver arts education programs in the community.
