The Arts as a Tool to Unlock Student Success and Create Inclusive Communities
3-day Conference with Workshops
The VSA arts Institute is a series of professional development workshops that focus on designing and delivering arts learning experiences that reach students with disabilities. Through discussion and hands-on arts activities, participants gain an understanding of the foundation of arts learning and inclusive education, and how to use inclusive practices in their work. Participants will join a community of teachers and artists working to create engaging lessons and environments that meet the diverse learning needs of all students. Co-organized by VSA arts and the Arts with the Disabled Association (ADA) Hong Kong, over the course of the VSA arts Institute, participants will experience four types of activities: core sessions, hands-on workshops, reflective discussions, and networking with peers led by experts from the VSA arts and other Asia Pacific affiliates.
