InterAct Arts Experience

InterAct Arts Experience program provides the opportunity for students from partnered schools that don't normally have access to the arts to see and participate in arts performances and activities in and around their city, which can be a valuable experience.

Research note

Studies have revealed the important relationships between learning in the arts and thinking skills, and motivations that underlie academic achievement and effective social behaviour.
