Summary:
This report presents the outcomes of two UNESCO-sponsored conferences: Asian Regional Symposia on Arts Education, Measuring the Impact of Arts in Education, Hong Kong SAR, China (9-11 January 2004) and Transmissions and Transformations: Learning Through the Arts in Asia New Delhi, India (21-24 March 2005). Artists, educators, policy makers and experts in art and culture from across Asia prepared the papers for this report. The report argues that there is increasing evidence that the benefits of art education are multiplied when the arts are used instrumentally in education. It recommends the Arts-in-Education (AiE) approach, through which the arts are used as tools to educate students about other subjects. The Appeal for the Promotion of Arts Education and Creativity at School as Part of the Construction of a Culture of Peace (1999) by UNESCO's Director-General Koïchiro Matsuura is republished in an annex.
