"Arts
subjects and experiences
have an evidenced role in
contributing to improving
outcomes for children and
young people, providing
them with skills for life
and skills for work.
The arts are an essential
tool in building a humane
society. They are a
building block for social
cohesion; they are
important for
understanding our
collective histories, and
for promoting inclusion,
and enabling agency within
a diverse society. They
underpin our cultures and
the economy, and are
important for personal
development, health and
wellbeing. They provide
memorable experiences and
a creative outlet which
enables children to
explore and express their
emotions and their
identities, and can help
in supporting children who
are struggling with their
wellbeing. They can enable
young people to
collaborate and flourish
as individuals in their
schools, communities and
the wider world, as well
as in their future
careers. Arts subjects
have intellectual depth,
breadth, and rigour. A
rich arts education
supports the development
of many desirable skills
and capacities which are
valued by young people and
by employers, including
teamwork, empathy,
problem-solving,
experimentation,
self-confidence,
imagination, innovation,
and creativity. We
describe the arts as being
‘full spectrum’ subjects,
supporting the development
of critical thinking,
oracy, self-expression,
selfbelief, independence,
initiative, focus,
flexibility,
collaboration, compassion,
responsibility,
resilience, achievement,
and creative freedom".
From The Arts in Schools:
Foundations for the Future

by A New Direction on 30
March 2023 to mark four
decades since the
publication of The Arts in
Schools: Principles,
practice and provision by
the Calouste Gulbenkian
