At ThinkArts, we believe that all children must have access to positive and high quality cultural experiences. Since our inception, we have championed the role of arts in the emotional and cognitive development of children & young people, and advocated for high-quality arts engagements and programming specifically created for young audiences.
Despite ample evidence of the positive impact of arts experiences in the lives of young people, there is a gap in both programming and reach. At the ThinkArts International Festival in 2019, we held a Roundtable which brought together various stakeholders, and discussed the ways in which this gap could be addressed. Engage is another step in this direction.
Engage: International Forum on the Arts for Children and Young People, presented by ThinkArts, in association with Goethe Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan Kolkata, seeks to gather parents, artists, cultural institutions, educators, museum professionals, venue directors, and arts funding bodies under one platform to together deliberate on different aspects on arts and education, young people in cultural spaces, accessibility, digital arts engagements and advocacy.
Each session will present views and know-how from the panelists and have scope for an interactive Q&A. We hope the Forum will enable participants to kick-start implementation in their own contexts and capacities.
The forum will include a series of workshops to help parents and teachers which will cover the whys and hows of engaging children with the arts. There will also be a day-long curated programme of enriching and high quality performances for children (and their grown-ups).
Engage is also supported by the Australian Consulate General, Kolkata, and the Kurzfilm Festival Hamburg, and has been selected as one of ASEF culture 360's 2020 Media Partnerships
