BuildaBridge Institute 2008
Transforming Lives through the Creative Arts
Bryn Mawr College - Bryn Mawr, PA
June 4-8, 2008 (Open Institute)
June 4-11, 2008 (MA Graduate Residency)
BuildaBridge Institute is a training and applied research academy that prepares artists, youth workers, community and congregational leaders, social service professionals, after school and nonprofit organization personnel to integrate the arts effectively in education and community development.
This year, for the first time, the BuildaBridge Institute will feature two simultaneous tracks. This means that returning participants will have new course offerings in the theory and practice of arts in transformation. We are also adding new faculty from a variety of arts-integrated fields in education, social work, and healing.
Courses will include Foundations for Arts in Transformation, Arts and Human Development, Arts in Education, Arts in Healing (New), Arts in Social Services (New), Arts and Spirituality and Leadership Practicum (New). Art-making takes place through classes in music, dance, drama, visual arts, banner-making, and creative writing. We will also have our very popular and unique Methods Lab Practicum where students and participants observe and assist a lead teacher in a direct arts service program with youth in a local homeless shelter. Participants can also attend courses in Cross-Cultural Skills for Community and Overseas Service (New), and Organization for Community Arts featuring collaborative work and fund-raising. The Healing Place, a drama-based training program for responding to trauma in children, will also be introduced.
Act-48, undergraduate and graduate credit is available through Eastern University.
