Transforming Lives through the Creative Arts
BuildaBridge Institute 2008 is a training and applied research academy designed to prepare artists, youth workers, community and congregational leaders, teachers, educators, social service professionals, after school and nonprofit organization personnel in how to integrate the arts effectively in education and community development. BuildaBridge Institute embraces the power of the arts in community outreach, teaching and transforming through local, national and international training programs and extensive graduate study.
This year, for the first time, the BuildaBridge Institute will feature two simultaneous tracks, part of the MA in Urban Studies of Campolo School for Social Change, Eastern University. Returning participants will have new course offerings in the theory and practice of arts in transformation. We are also adding new faculty from a variety of arts integrated fields in education, social work, and healing.
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 Healing Place, a drama-based training program for responding to trauma in children, will also be introduced.
Second track courses will include:
- Arts in Healing (New),
- Arts in Social Services (New),
- Leadership Practicum (New),
- Cross-Cultural Skills for Community and Overseas Service (New).
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 in a local homeless shelter and the Skills Development Workshops in dance, drama, visual arts, fabric arts, drumming.
Act-48, undergraduate and graduate credit is available through Eastern University.
