BuildaBridge Institute is a training and applied research academy designed to prepare artists, youth workers, community and congregational leaders, teachers, social service professionals, and nonprofit organization personnel to integrate the arts effectively in education and community development. BuildaBridge Institute embraces the power of the arts in community outreach by teaching and transforming through local, national and international training programs and extensive graduate study.

BuildaBridge Institute is Eastern University’s instructional partner for the MA in Urban Studies, Arts in Transformation Concentration. Graduate students attend the Institute during June 3-10 as part of their curriculum work.

BuildaBridge Institute 2009 will include two simultaneous track courses in foundational theory, arts management and arts education, applied arts methods and art skills. Consequently, first time participants attend first track courses, while second time participants attend second track courses. Nevertheless, exceptions can be made.

 

Courses

First track courses will include: Foundations for Arts in Transformation; Arts and Human Development; Arts in Education; Arts and Spirituality; Organization for Community Arts featuring collaborative work and fund-raising. The Money News Network, a drama-based training program on financial management, will also be introduced.

Second track courses will include: Arts in Healing, Arts in Social Services and Leadership Practicum.

Participants of both tracks will also attend our very popular and unique Methods Lab Practicum where they will observe and assist a lead teacher in a direct arts service program with youth/seniors in a local shelter; and Skills Development Workshops in different art mediums (dance, transformational drama, visual arts, conscious drumming etc.) including cross-cultural skills for community and overseas service.

Returning participants will also have the option to attend a third track (new) of course offerings on Emergency Art Relief on June 4-6, featuring CPR, First Aid, and Cross Cultural Skills for Overseas Service. Please note that BuildaBridge reserves the right to cancel third track courses pending sufficient participation.
