What this is…

This site is a participatory, interactive and mobile-friendly website network of practice (NoP) for arts educators, teaching artists, and cultural workers engaged in arts and cultural development work in global community sectors.

All humans deserve “the right to freely participate in the cultural life of the community” (UN General Assembly, 1948). Arts and culture foundations recognize ongoing issues around equity and access to critical information and mentoring for arts educators, teaching artists, and cultural workers engaged in community/global arts education. Reflecting and reinforcing dominant identities and value systems, support often goes to established groups and/or institutions which don’t always represent those actually doing the work, nor those being impacted by it. Our online, global NoP for sharing experience, information, practice, building solidarity as well as capacities, and advocacy responds to these issues.
