Arts for transformative education: A guide for teachers from the UNESCO Associated Schools Network

UNESCO

This guide invites teachers to harness the transformative power of the arts through the research-informed Arts for Transformative Education model. This thinking tool for teachers was developed by analysing data from more than 600 teachers across 39 countries in the UNESCO Associated Schools Network (ASPnet).

The guide presents and explains the Arts for Transformative Education model – a thinking tool for understanding, planning and supporting transformative arts learning experiences. It also describes a curated collection of arts learning activities and projects from across the globe that may serve as inspiration for arts learning experiences suited to your own context.

This publication provides:

• 12 ‘learning experience descriptions’ illustrating how the Arts for Transformative Education model works in real-world learning.
• 12 ‘learning experience snapshots’ providing shorter additional examples.
• ‘Guidelines for teachers’ outlining a step-by-step process for activating arts learning to empower transformative education.
