Save the Dream: What we do

At Art Around, we partner with educational institutions and organizations across
the country to impart arts education for underpriviledged and disabled children.
Through our three flagship programs, we build capacity in educators and students
through visual-arts integrated learning to strengthen and enhance creative and
social-emotional development. These programs are designed to build scale, depth, and
advocacy for visual arts in the education sector so that every student is provided the
access to opportunities that inspire creativity!

Our three flagship programs

Art Education	Movement Therapy	Workshops in rural areas
In this program we train teachers from schools and organization across India for a year.	In this program we train our volunteers ready to contribute to this cause for 6 months.	In this program we host a workshop every month in rural areas that do not have access to education, art class or movement therapy.
We train them in a way that build capacity in educators through arts.	We train them to include movement therapy in schools and organisation around India for underprivileged and children.	In these one-day workshops we introduce kids with different lessons each week specifically prepared for them keeping in mind the purpose of this cause.
Further we train them to strengthen and enhance the creative, social-emotional development of children in education.	Movement therapy helps child to decrease pain, stress, and gives the ability to improve strength, balance, coordination, cardiovascular health, physical fitness.	Every month we will target 2-3 different villages to spread the awareness for visual arts learning and movement therapy with the team of our volunteers.
We train them with different techniques to teach children with disabilities and help them express better through art.	We train educator/teachers to inculCate movement therapy sessions every week in order to improve a child's overall behaviour and mental health.	In these once a month workshops we would also help educators in rural areas to get trained and continue to incultate visual arts and movement therapy sessions every week in order to improve a child's overall behaviour and mental health.
Through our partnerships, we design and facilitate weekly art class sessions for students in government schools and build in them the skills of creativity, critical thinking, perseverance, imagination, and communication.	Through our partnerships, we design and facilitate weekly class sessions for students in government schools.	Through our partnerships, we design and facilitate monthly workshop sessions for students in rural areas.
