The Delhi Arts Curriculum is a groundbreaking initiative aimed at revolutionizing the way arts education is imparted to students. The curriculum has been developed by a team of experts and educators over the last few years, keeping in mind the unique cultural heritage and diversity of Delhi.
The Delhi Arts Curriculum is an initiative by the Delhi Government and NalandaWay Foundation to enable children to have rich, holistic and immersive experiences in visual and performing arts. After a 9-month-long pilot of the curriculum, that reached 3988 students and 89 teachers, we are pleased to formally present our findings. The findings from the report will guide us as we embark on the next phase of the project to help every student in Delhi Govt. schools, achieve through arts.
NalandaWay Foundation is a non-profit organisation that uses art as a medium to transform the lives of children belonging to disenfranchised communities. The Delhi Arts Curriculum was a pilot project that ran in nine government schools in Delhi between July 2022 and March 2023. Children aged three to ten gained specific art-based competencies in five art forms (visual arts, music, dance, theatre, and media arts) as well as social-emotional skills. The pilot also involved students belonging to grade 8 of each of the pilot schools producing their own musical theatre production involving script writing, costume design, music composition, choreography and art direction The event would also include an exhibition featuring an installation created by students, as well as other artwork created by them during the pilot project by Sarvodaya students.
