Embedding Women’s Rights & Equality Perspective into Arts Education Methods to work with people from diverse (cultural) backgrounds
This training module was developed by the European Network of Migrant Women, in the frames of the Erasmus+ funded project, Get Close to Opera, to strengthen the knowledge and skills of art educators so that they can embed women’s rights perspective into their teaching methodology.
The GET CLOSE TO OPERA project developed inclusive and multicultural arts education and training programmes seeking to support best practice in migrant and refugee contexts. The training methodology used Multiple Intelligence Theory and focus on Opera as the delivery artform.
GET CLOSE TO OPERA is inspired by Opera as an artform that embraces multiple languages and engages it’s audiences emotionally through music. We believe that through Opera we can unleash the potential to reach across barriers, creatively communicate, and explore what we have in common.
GET CLOSE TO OPERA recognises the wide range of activity that has already been created in this context, and seeks to engage with Opera houses, Opera companies, singers, musicians, Opera creatives, dancers, actors, cultural mediators, facilitators working through the arts in migrant and refugee contexts, and educators interested in non-formal education methodologies.
