International survey on arts education

Invitation to participate in a research survey on arts education 

In a time when the arts are increasingly undervalued and underfunded, we find ourselves at a pivotal moment. The performing arts: music, drama, and dance, are essential to building inclusive, empathetic, and resilient communities. But to secure their place in our societies, we need more than passion, we need strong, evidence-based arguments. That’s where you come in.

dialoguing@rts (d@rts) is an international research initiative funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Programme. Our mission is to explore how Cultural Literacy Education (CLE) — learning through the arts — can foster cultural understanding and strengthen social cohesion.

Help Us Make the Case for the Arts

We’re inviting professionals in the arts, education, and cultural sectors to share their experiences through a short, 10-minute survey. Your insights will help us understand how cultural literacy is being practiced across Europe and reveal the true impact of arts education in schools, communities, and beyond.
