A gathering of more than 200 stakeholders in arts education from across Canada and around the world met to discuss and further arts and learning in Canada and to prepare for the next UNESCO World Conference on arts education in Seoul Korea. The main theme was Network Building within Canadian educational arts communities.  Organizers aim to advocate for and build creative capacity and visibility in arts education in all arts disciplines and at all levels across Canada by creating and strengthening bridges between arts educators,  arts administrators, performers, practitioners, and students.
