Details:
The arts are a powerful vehicle for social-emotional learning because they have universal appeal and allow for group participation by persons of all abilities, cultures and backgrounds. Shared creative experiences can facilitate insight and empathy, which enable changing perceptions of self and others, social connection, and individual and collective empowerment. Furthermore, group-based arts activities can be implemented in school, local communities and recreational settings where most youth can be found. Arts no longer exist only in concert halls, theatres and exhibition galleries- it has become a powerful agent of social change, inspiring young people, families and communities to realize their potential and create opportunities for growth, poverty relief and social inclusion of disadvantaged groups (migrants, unemployed, NEETs etc). At the same time governments and people around the world are increasingly recognizing the importance of the arts and culture as a dynamic and innovative sector with clear linkages to employment, education and the wider socio-economic arena. Not without debate, still, it has become increasingly clear that the creative industries are not only driving innovation and impacting our lives as consumers and citizens, but becoming essential to the infrastructure of our societies. Yet accessing their full potential remains a challenge and public policies, skills and infrastructure are often struggling to keep up.
