Welcome to the CARE Project, where we explore the transformative power of arts in rural education. Join us on this journey to create equitable learning environments for all.
Integrating arts into rural education creates equitable learning environments where students can thrive. By fostering creativity, critical thinking, and self-expression, the arts empower students to reach their full potential.
At the CARE Project, we believe that every child deserves access to arts education. Our mission is to develop and maintain arts-rich learning environments in rural communities of poverty, providing a pathway to equitable education. Through our intensive five-year case study, we aim to research and understand the unique challenges and opportunities in these communities, and to create sustainable solutions that empower students and enhance their learning experiences.
