www.clydefitchreport.com: The ninth World Alliance for Arts Education International Conference, held in Frankfurt, Germany, from Oct. 25 through Nov. 1, gathered more than 200 people from 47 nations. Delegates debated big ideas, connected over pretzels and beer, and took in the sights of student artwork, politicians speaking in favor of the arts, and regular performances. The conference conveners notably shepherded a global dialogue around a call on UNESCO to host a third-world congress on arts education — how to support arts education in a changing globalized world.

The author mentioned that "we can not simply quantify and measure young people like we do dollars and cents." And I can not agree with him more on this one. Ever since the Industrial Revolution, the societies across the globe is struggling to find a answer to balance out what is so called "work" and "life". To me personally, the answer is simply doing art. By doing art I am not saying everyone should go theater or learn painting, the idea is to cultivate a taste of living.Though this might sound very capitalism at the first place, but having a taste has nothing to do with how much a person is paid. And with the same idea, art should be shared with no prejudice and limit. Thus for the current structure of our society, putting these into education system is definitely the right call. People should not be barred from learning the art, and how we achieve that is to keep going on this trend of legislation of education.
