What does your Virtual School believe that ARTS (music, dance, drama, art, literature, digital, etc) and CULTURE (museums, libraries, historic places of interest etc) offer your young people?
Engaging in the arts can provide a therapeutic medium for creative self expression where young people can feel safe and explore their feelings and past experiences. The arts can give our young people the chance to experience different opportunities and have lots of fun learning along the way.
