Art in Education.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ARTguro believes that positive change happens through authentic, arts-driven, culturally contextual education. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are committed to building an active community of educators who help and motivate each other through the use of creativity in their classrooms; active and positive discussion about their practice and a genuine love for education. It is a unique platform where teachers help fellow teachers with the aim of bettering the state of education in the Philippines through the Arts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
