UNESCO’s vision of transformative education involves building learners’ capacities and empowering them to take action for a more peaceful and sustainable world. The arts offer tremendous potential for supporting learning that transforms individuals and communities. To fully realize that potential, teachers need to structure and support educational experiences that optimize what students will take away from them.
This guide presents the research-informed Arts for Transformative Education model, a pioneering approach and thinking tool for teachers. The model was developed from data provided by over 600 teachers of the UNESCO Associated Schools network from 39 countries.
Twelve Learning Experience Descriptions illustrate in detail how the Arts for Transformative Education model functions in real-world learning projects from around the globe. Twelve Learning Experience Snapshots provide additional project examples. Guidelines for Teachers outline a step-by-step process for activating arts learning to empower transformative education.
