Hello all, I am writing today in lieu of your regular weekly newsletter from the Campaign for a Creative Generation. During this week of Thanksgiving in the United States, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for being a part of the campaign and for supporting the next generation as they use their creativity to shape our world! I also wanted to direct your attention to the news of a very important document in our shared work: The Frankfurt Declaration, published by the World Alliance for Arts Education. We were so excited to contribute research to this global declaration. This new international document calls for “transformative action for arts education as being integral to sustaining communities and meeting the needs of all people in the face of critical global challenges” and "celebrates the unprecedented arts performances linked to movements led by children and young people throughout the world. It asserts arts education as a right for all towards the nurturing of a paradigm of solidarity, cooperation and good living”
Below, please find the full article to learn more and download the Declaration. You can also check out my latest article on The Clyde Fitch Report, where I discuss how “The Global Narrative for Arts Education is Changing.” Finally, I want to encourage you to save the date for Giving Tuesday. On Tuesday, December 3, individuals from around the globe will celebrate Giving Tuesday, a worldwide day of giving. On this day, Creative Generation will be announcing a new effort to include you in the future of the organization. Save the date, watch your email, or consider donating today. Every $5 or $10 we raise will help support our programs into 2020 and beyond! You can donate here. Thank you again and Happy Thanksgiving. My best, Jeff
