Canadian Network for Arts and Learning to hold Symposium at the Royal Conservatory in Toronto, Dec. 2, 3 & 4, 2009
The
Canadian Symposium for Arts and Learning will be held at the Royal
Conservatory, December 2, 3 & 4, 2009. The symposium will take
place in the splendid new Telus Centre for Performance and Learning,
home of the Royal Conservatory. The Centre will be formally opened
earlier in the autumn, in the heart of Toronto.
This event will
follow a remarkably successful symposium hosted by the UNESCO Chair in
Arts and Learning, at Queen’s University, in 2008 , at which a
framework for the Canadian Network for Arts and Learning was endorsed.
The initial symposium, held at the University of Ottawa in 2007, was a
watershed event following the UNESCO World Conference in Arts Education
held in Portugal in 2006.
Plans for the program for the 2009 symposium are well underway. The event is expected to feature plenary speakers addressing the principal themes of research, networking and advocacy, along with abstract/poster presentations on research and best practices in arts and learning from across Canada.
One focus of the symposium will be the preparation of a Canadian contribution to the 2010 UNESCO World Conference which will be held in Seoul, Republic of Korea.

"Creative Spaces for Children and Youth"
Submission to the Government of Canada's
Ministry of Finance Stimulus Package 2009 Federal Budget
The mission of the Arts Network for Children and Youth is to ensure that all children and youth have an opportunity to experience creativity and the arts for their personal growth, social development and community involvement. To accomplish this we envision the creation of a "children and youth art sector".
Our proposals to the Government of Canada's Ministry of Finance and the Ontario Standing Committee of Finance include recommendations to ensure that this sector begins to move forward and to stimulate sector growth. It adresses the broader community needs for this sector:
-the need for community place-based infrastructure "Creative Spaces for Children and Youth"
-the need for core operating funding to manage and deliver programs
-the need for trained artists in rural, urban, northern and First Nations communities who will make a life career in delivering community based arts programs to children and youth

Inventory Mapping Project
“Tell Us Your Stories…”
In 2008-09 the Arts Network for Children and Youth (ANCY) in partnership with local municipalities and arts organizations will be hosting several local/regional "inventory mappings" of arts programs, organizations, artists and infrastructure specific to children and youth across Ontario.
This project is being undertaken for a variety of reasons:
* To offer an opportunity to local arts organizations and artists to tell us about the projects and programs that they offer to children and youth in their community.
* To collect an inventory of organizations, programs and artists that are delivering arts activities to children and youth in each community.
* To identify local organizations and leaders who are interested in supporting the stabilization and expansion of multi-delivery of programs.
* To present a cross-Canada scan of "creative spaces for children and youth infrastructure and art programs" being delivered across Canada.
* To open up discussion and encourage feedback from the local level as we continue to support and build the "Children and Youth Art Sector".
If you are interested in your community hosting this 1/2 day session, please contact ANCY at info@artsnetwork.ca
