The WOMAD Foundation has over 20 years’ experience of working within a broad educational context bringing the arts of global cultures into the classroom, as well as initiating opportunities for cultural exchange at the festivals themselves. The foundation continues to look for new ways of engaging with young people through an incredible range of music, dance and visual arts from countries as far apart as Mexico and South Korea and Southern Africa and Australia. The WOMAD Foundation in partnership with ADACH presents WOMAD Beyond.
WOMAD Beyond will encourage children to approach the unknown in an open and enquiring way, to explore the richness and diversity of the arts of global cultures, including their own.
This educational outreach programme for schools will bring musicians and visual artists from Zimbabwe, South Korea, India, Algeria and the UK into schools in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain. Workshops will include, percussion, dance, voice, musical collaborations, and arts and crafts of the Indian subcontinent and carnival arts from UK.
