Global Arts for Global Kids

Global Arts for Global Kids (GAGK) virtual series returns this fall in time for the new 2020-2021 school year. This series will continue to offer arts education programs as diverse as our Queens’ community for free. Flushing Town Hall’s Master Teaching Artists (TAs) offer new content each week over 10 weeks. Students will have the opportunity to explore a new topic each week: Indian dance & yoga, Mexican folkloric dances and their wardrobes, creating mini art museums, Jazz dance, shadow theater, dances from Africa’s Ivory coast, world drumming in English and Spanish, fairy tales, Chinese dance & culture, and toy theater. Each week, students can watch 5 pre-recorded videos for the week-long GAGK lessons. Each video is 5-10 minutes, and an activity worksheet will accompany each lesson. These programs are open to schools, families, home schools, and “school pods”— groups of families who are working together to educate their kids during quarantine.
