Cultural Connections K-12 Arts and Cultural Strategy

Music, theatre arts, and visual arts, along with other forms of expression, help a culture define its identity and explore its heritage. Cultural Connections, a provincial arts and cultural strategy for K-12 education, aims to increase the presence of cultural content in the school curriculum and foster links between artists and students in the school environment.

Through this integrated strategy,  Newfoundland and Labrador history and culture will be affirmed as a key feature of the K-12 curriculum.  Students in the K-12 system will be encouraged to develop foundational skills in music, theatre, visual arts and creative writing, which may prepare them to aspire to professional training and career opportunities in the fine and performing arts.  Students will develop a critical awareness of the role of the arts in creating and reflecting heritage.  Students, and those who witness their expression of the arts, will also come to respect the contributions of individuals and cultural groups to the arts, in local, national, and international contexts, and will recognize the value of the arts as a record of human experience.  Newfoundlanders and Labradorians, especially the younger population, will grow in their understanding and appreciation of the unique culture in Newfoundland and Labrador.  The economic status of the province’s professional artist and those in tourism and publishing will improve.

As part of this Cultural Connections strategy, the Resource Acquisition Program provides school libraries with copies of published works that are representative of the province’s arts and cultural community.
