Open Minds | Teacher’s Training Program

Open Minds is an exchange platform initiated in 2012 by the Art1st Foundation for art teachers and educators from the field of visual arts and arts integrated streams. Under this initiative, the art seminar and research project in 2013 has been conceived to expand the essence and meaning of open minds in collaboration with the Mohile Parikh Center.

A crucial need is to generate awareness about what art learning can offer in terms of transformative thinking. To understand aesthetics, re-imagining our traditions and explore the possibilities of contemporary art means being open to innovation in the classroom and increasing our understanding of the mind and intelligence.
