Description
The new UNESCO Framework for Culture and Arts Education not only calls for a different form and position of cultural education in education, but also for a revision of education itself. As early as 2016, the Dutch National Knowledge Institute for Cultural Education and Amateur Arts (LKCA) published a vision on education in general and the role of cultural education within it, already in line with the new Unesco framework. Our conclusion was that the position of cultural education within education can only improve sustainably if education itself changes fundamentally. In 2024, we release an improved version of our Basis for Cultural Education , in which we further develop this concept on the basis of the ten necessary elements of a curriculum. During this presentation, the vision of a new approach to cultural education will be explained using these curricular elements.
