Support for arts education
Unfortunately, we live in times where arts education isn’t always championed by the government, or by the curriculum. Many schools and community projects have had budgets slashed or removed altogether, taking away vital enrichment and opportunities for students.
To champion arts education and drama in schools, we’ve set up a cost-effective package specifically to support you in these challenging times. The package includes workshops in music, dance and drama and is designed to develop students strengths and wellbeing.
​
Studies show that an arts-rich education enhances students’ inner-lives, making them happier and healthier. Other benefits include:
​
-
Reduced stress levels
-
Reduced depression and anxiety
-
Increased self-esteem and confidence
-
Increased creativity and problem-solving
-
Keeping body and brain active
-
Improved memory and reading skills
-
Better strength, posture and flexibility
