EDUCATION PRIORITIES: Donations & Funding
Founding Creative Educational Theories:
The foundations upon which the Center was formed is to emphasize creative education with the strong emphasis of Cultural Competency (being informed of all cultures on their terms), building Professional Learning Communities —and the illuminating and empowering use of Creativity and the Arts.
As a non-profit, we support human capacity development theories, provide research support, advance multi-cultural/racial team-building amongst professional artists and educators, and provide logistical support for collaboration--beyond borders.
Key Principles:
That our human capacity to learn is dynamic, diverse, and must be engaged with inclusion and knowledge of other cultures, genders or abilities. That creative learning must match the diversity of human intelligences and cultural assets—is why we promote artistry and science mutually as needed to foster equity, justice, and inclusive learning.
