Music,
drama, and visual arts, along with other forms of expression, help a
culture to define its identity and explore its heritage. Cultural
Connections, a provincial arts and cultural strategy for K-12
education,
aims
to increase the presence of cultural content in the school curriculum
and foster links between artists and students in the school environment.
Through
this integrated strategy,
-
Newfoundland
and
Labrador
history and
culture will be affirmed as a key feature of the K-12 curriculum
- Students
will develop a critical awareness of the role of the arts in
creating and reflecting our heritage
- Students,
and those who witness their expression of the arts, will also come
to respect the contributions of individuals and cultural groups to
the arts, in local and provincial contexts, and will recognize the
value of the arts as a record of our human experience
- Newfoundlanders
and Labradorians, especially our younger population, will grow in
their understanding and appreciation of our unique culture
