The project
Over one week, 16 bachelor, master and doctoral students from the arts programs at Western University (Ontario) visited primary schools, academies, universities and other arts education institutions, offering workshops for students and training for teachers. The exchange included workshops in Canada led by M.Sc. Jacobo Nitsch and M.Sc. Mariela Zelada, Dean of Education at Universidad del Valle de Guatemala, plus an action research course for arts teachers.
Why it matters
This exchange worked in both directions: the visitors gave workshops and training in Guatemala, and Guatemalan professionals gave workshops in Canada. That two-way flow is what separates a collaboration from a visit: both sides teach and both sides learn.
Who we worked with
