Description:
The goal of the new Art in All of Us Curriculum Kits aim to introduce students to the countries and cultures of the world, using our extensive database of kids’ artworks featuring over 15,000 children’s drawings and poems. AiA instructors have been busy collecting these works for the last 3 years, visiting schools located in the 192 countries recognized by the United Nations. The AiA Curriculum Program is about kids teaching kids through their own creativity. Knowledge is richly enhanced by cultural differences and connecting globally. Indeed, understanding is the first step to teaching tolerance.

Each Curriculum Kit contains information and material describing four specific countries of the world. Also included is a teacher’s guide with directions to help conduct the enclosed activities of each kit. AiA is the communication platform of children from all over the world, awakening curiosities, fostering understanding and promoting respect of all cultures. Our main goal is to use these kits to enhance already established school curriculums and/or after school programs. The easy incorporation of the kits into the curriculum enables a wider diffusion of culture, throughout your class. The AiA Curriculum Kits will be available to all teachers and children through the following networks: the internet, postal mail, OLPC, existing school or teacher networks.
