The international network Another Roadmap for Arts Education is an association of practitioners and researchers working towards art education as an engaged practice in museums, schools, cultural institutions, educational centres and grass-roots organisations in twenty-two cities on four continents.
The Another Roadmap network emerged out of a shared interest to critically analyse the Road Map for Arts Education –as presented by UNESCO in Lisbon in 2006 and elaborated in the Seoul Agenda for Arts Education in 2010 – in terms of its history and terminology, subtexts and paradigms, as well as the application of these policies in different parts of the world.
The chief research aims of the Another Roadmap network are:
- to analyse current policies and practices of arts education (in the context of the increased interest in the role of ‘creativity’ and the UNESCO documents’ other core assumptions);
- to critically assess the continuing hegemony of a colonial westernised arts education;
- to plot alternatives and develop other paradigms for practice and research in arts education
