A total of 23 participants from 20 schools attended. The municipality of Goeree-Overflakkee organized the meeting.
Working together on cultural education
The afternoon focused on meeting, sharing knowledge, and collaboration. Participants gained new ideas and practical tips to give culture a stronger place in schools. This aligns well with the KunstTaart program, which helps schools make cultural education easy and enjoyable. Through www.kunsttaart.nl, schools can choose from lessons, workshops, and excursions that suit their students.
Workshops and practical examples
The program of the meeting was varied and interactive. Participants attended workshops on movement to music and theater. They also received an explanation of the combination of citizenship and cultural education. A special moment was the presentation of the Internal Cultural Coordinator certificate to Marcella de Bruin by alderman Berend Jan Bruggeman. Marcella shared her experiences and how she further shapes cultural education at De Bosseschool in Middelharnis.
Looking ahead to new offerings
The meeting concluded with an update on KunstTaart. Preparations for the new school year are in full swing. Schools will soon be able to register again for a new offering of cultural activities. This first meeting provided energy and new insights. Participants left with ideas they could immediately put into practice. A strong foundation has been laid for greater collaboration between schools on the island in the cultural field.
