This webinar will provide an introduction to International Arts Education Week, sharing the history and activities for the 2020 Celebration. Join Teresa Eca representing the World Alliance for Arts Education and Jeff M. Poulin representing Creative Generation to learn how to celebrate arts education through this global event.

After 6 weeks of lockdown, schools in New Zealand reopened with the arts and wellbeing at the centre of their approach to the return.  Principals, teachers and academics from the University of Auckland partnered to create a website with arts lesson plans to guide teachers to use the arts to address the collective trauma experienced from the COVID-19 pandemic.  This unique resource, Te Rito Toi (www.teritotoi.org) had nearly 200,000 page views in less than three weeks.  The work was funded in part by UNESCO NZ.

Register for Future Webinars

Throughout the rest of this week, the series of nine webinars will continue daily. All are encouraged to learn together. Please register for upcoming webinars below.
