“Arts in Schools” Summary Event

On June 20, the concluding event of the project "Art in Schools" was held at the Georgian National Museum.

"Art in Schools" unites three important areas of culture and includes the following programs: "School in the Museum," "School in the Theater," and "Cinema at School." The project has been implemented in a pilot mode since May within the framework of the education reform – the "New School" model – and encompasses 67 schools throughout Georgia.

The concluding event at the National Museum was attended by project organizers, participating children, representatives of the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sport of Georgia, as well as heads of the National Film Center and the National Museum. An educational tour of the National Museum was organized for the participating children, followed by an award ceremony where various prizes were presented to the winners of the competitions held within the project. Later, a screening of contemporary Georgian animated films was held specially for them.

The project "Art in Schools" aims to strengthen the cultural component in general education institutions and diversify students' school life. Starting from September of this year, "Art in Schools" will take on a larger scale and unite all schools in Georgia.
