Arts in Education Observatories

Within the framework of "Education For All" and "Quality Education" goals, as well as in support of strategies to safeguard cultural diversity, UNESCO is endeavouring to mainstream the arts, creativity and culture in educational systems throughout the world.


With this aim in mind, the Office of the UNESCO Regional Adviser for Culture in Asia and the Pacific is promoting research in the field of Arts Education and exchange of information and case studies among teachers, artists, experts and other practitioners in the Asia-Pacific region. This office has convened a series of regional meetings on Arts Education, culminating in the World Conference on Arts Education, held in 2006. In addition, this office is encouraging interested academic institutions to establish  Asia-Pacific Arts Education Observatories, to systematically compile and disseminate information on Arts Education in the region.

This website provides detailed information about our Arts Education activities and outcomes, as well as links to Arts Education organizations and a variety of useful publications and resources.
