About The Programme

The programme fosters a dynamic, reciprocal exchange where education, creativity, and tradition converge whereby participants and volunteers from around the world partake in the rediscovery of creative inspiration for arts and culture development. It has educational, cultural, artistic, and entertaining impacts on volunteers and participants.
The programme offers volunteers the opportunity to share their knowledge and educational experiences in teaching and learning in arts and culture.
