Event Details
The 4th Annual Institute for the Church and Community Arts (ICCA) will be held June 1-5, 2005, at the Mother Boniface Spirituality Center in NW Philadelphia.
The Institute for the Church and Community Arts (ICCA) is designed for community leaders, ministers, youth workers, social workers, artists, educators and others who want to integrate the arts in their community, church, and after-school programs and classes. ICCA is designed to teach leadership skills--from gaining basic philosophical and theological foundations to the practical of day-to-day work of planning, fundraising, designing and implementing curriculum and learning about basic arts skills. No educational prerequisites are required. While arts skills help, ICCA provides the necessary background for the leader who is new to the concept of arts-integration. Basic planning skills are relevant for any non-profit leader.
EDUCATION. . . .HEALING. . . .RECONCILIATION
The theme for ICCA 2005 is “Education, Healing, Reconciliation.” We recognize the value artists and the arts bring to the transformation of communities. We recognize that most professional and lay artists lack training in how to initiate change in communities that present unusual challenges of economic and political injustice. We also are aware that most community and church leaders do not know how to harness the power of the arts for outreach and transformation. ICCA 2005 seeks to address these issues and establish a forum for sharing creative and effective solutions through integrating the arts into community based service and community mission.
WHAT COURSES ARE OFFERED?
Courses offered will include Therapy and Healing through the Arts; Working with At-Risk Children; Arts, Spirituality and Youth; Drama for Conflict Resolution; Starting and Maintaining a Community Arts Program; Fundraising and Grant Writing; Writing Arts Curriculum and Designing Assessments, as well as foundational courses in Arts Based Community Development and the Theological and Philosophical Foundations for Arts-based Programs.
