Description

Description:

Worldwide, societies are crying for assistance in the transformation of their citizens, organizations and institutions. The social artist as cultural therapist offers a new paradigm of sustainable human development, one that supports human development in its most primary form: the development of capacities, skills and potentials that activate the individual and groups in ways that enhance their societal choices and commitments, liberates their inventiveness and raises levels of esteem and cooperation essential to carrying out the goals of making a better world.

Educational Objectives:

  1. To describe two ways to effect cultural change.
  2. To name three ways a cultural therapist can help make a better world.
