The International Teaching Artist Collaborative (ITAC) leverages teaching artistry to address global challenges, including conflict resolution. Teaching artists work at the intersection of arts and education to foster understanding, empathy, and collaboration in conflict-affected regions. By empowering individuals and communities with creative tools, ITAC facilitates dialogue and reconciliation, promoting social cohesion and sustainable peace. ITAC initiatives integrate storytelling, performance, and visual arts to address deep-seated grievances and create pathways for healing.
Teaching artists have demonstrated how the arts can transform adversities into opportunities for collective growth and understanding.
