Arts and Humanities Education Advocacy
This is the final video in the short documentary series that Stone Soup Films made about us! We are so thankful that Stone Soup was able to create these videos for us to use as part of a month of arts and humanities advocacy initiatives. We are grateful to our community partners that were featured in this video like The Kreeger Museum, Phillips Collection and Washington Bach Consort. This video encapsulates our mission and the work we do in partnership with our members to reach as many students as possible with meaningful arts and humanities educational programs.
We are inspired by the work of our members and school partners to ensure that the cultural institutions are seen as a integral part of the education of DC’s students.
About the DC Collaborative Video Blog!
Fourth and final blog in the #ArtsAndHuamnitiesForEveryStudent series
Our Executive Director, Lissa Rosenthal-Yaffe, makes the case for the DC Collaborative and its members that collectively, the arts and humanities education community is making a crucial impact on student learning in the District when providing access to the education programming at cultural institutions. She looks forward to eventually working with all 85,000 students in the DC community both inside and outside of the classroom.
Linda Harper, Board President of the DC Arts and Humanities Education Collaborative, comments on the rich cultural amenities in DC and the need for public schools to take advantage of these resources in the city. The DC Collaborative in partnership with its members, fills this void and acts as a bridge between DC cultural institutions and DC Public and Pubic Charter Schools.
Jeanette McCune, the Director for DC School and Community Initiatives at The Kennedy Center and DC Collaborative Board Member, says that the DC Collaborative has been necessary and dependable resource for students experiencing programs at The Kennedy Center as well as other institutions in the city.
Thank you to to Stone Soup Films for helping us show off highlights of our work!
DC Collaborative helps upwards of 30,000 DC Public and Public Charter School students attend field trips throughout the school year. We are dedicated to providing access for all students to high quality arts and humanities education experiences like the ones in this video.
