Funded Activity Summary

Transformative arts education partnerships: a creative approach to whole school renewal. This project investigates a school transformation and curriculum initiative through an arts partnership between a culturally diverse inner city secondary school, a community performing arts company and arts education researchers. The project will explore how the arts can offer multiple and alternative routes to academic achievement and personal well-being for disempowered and disenfranchised teenagers at school. An adjunct to individual empowerment is community strengthening through enhanced citizenship and community connectedness. The study focuses on a single complex ethnically diverse research site and offers the opportunity for innovative research collaboration between students, teachers, academic researchers and the community.
