Project Description and Impact
We provide an evidence-based art empowerment program that works with students from the most vulnerable backgrounds. There is growing global evidence that arts-based learning allows students to build the Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) skills they need to thrive. According to the Kennedy Centre, children who received art education showed increased confidence, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. The National Endowment for the Arts observed that students partaking in arts courses had higher grades and were 5 times more likely to graduate than their peers. Our online and offline programs explore the transformative power of the visual arts to help children including refugees as well as children with disabilities from the most vulnerable communities build the skills of Communication, Collaboration, Critical Thinking, Creativity, Empathy, and Self-Esteem) and learn about themselves, their communities, and how they can make a change through art.
