| At the thirtieth session of the UNESCO General Conference in November 1999, the Director-General launched an International Appeal for the Promotion of Arts Education and Creativity at School, and the Organization decided to create Links to Education and Art (Lea International), an international network of experts and practitioners, with a view to strengthening the role of arts teaching in general education. LEA’s aim is to multiply contacts between specialists throughout the world for the exchange of information and dissemination of best practices, pedagogical tools and interdisciplinary resources in each discipline. It also gathers information on teacher training. In due course, therefore, LEA will provide an inventory of the situation of international arts education that can assist governments in furthering arts education in their country. The first phase of this programme was concluded by a World Conference on Arts Education (Lisbon, Portugal, 6 to 9 March 2006). See : - Preparatory work of the Conference
- Main Results
- Follow-up activities Sir Ken Robinson's speech at the World Conference on Arts Education (video) Dr. Antonio Damasio's speech at the World Conference on Arts Education (PDF)
For further information, or if you wish to suggest contents for LEA, please feel free to contact us directly at: clt_eduarts@unesco.org
