We arts educators, from all areas of arts, will not bow down! Through arts in education we address social justice and climate justice issues, we foster empathy and understanding. Facing the current state of global violence, we will not bow down! We pledge for artistic expression as a tool for dialogue, reconciliation, and inclusivity. Facing the current state of bipolarization, racism and xenophobia, we will stand up strongly against them! We pledge for democratic citizenship and peacebuilding.
