To incorporate artistic education into learning centres

The educational community must benefit from the tools it needs to incorporate substantial, experience-based artistic education proposals and projects into school life, thereby enabling students to engage in culture. Along these lines, connections need to be generated and encouraged with artists to allow them to act and create connections in the community at the same time. This action is particularly important during (or from) primary education and can serve as a driving force to strengthen interdisciplinary knowledge by linking art with geography, sociology, poetry, politics and sciences. Artistic and humanistic studies should be taught during school hours; otherwise, they would only be accessible for those with sufficient resources or only delivered at institutions specialising in art and music. Artistic education is a right that guarantees universal access to the practice of the arts. One tool could involve setting up a directorate-general for arts teachings and education within the Catalan Ministry of Education. At present, these study programmes are the responsibility of the Directorate-General for Vocational Training and Special Teachings.
