In May 2010 (exact dates will be known soon) the 2nd UNESCO World Conference on Arts Education will take place in Seoul, Korea. In anticipation of that event, several regional summits and a World summit are being planned. Some of these will have formal affiliations with WAAE while others will be loosely affiliated. To date we are aware of a Latin American and Caribbean Summit being planned for November 20-24 in Bogota Colombia. Still others include an African conference in Ghana in early August, a Slovenian conference in October, a South Africa summit in mid November, a Canadian conference in early December, and an Asian conference sometime in the fall/winter.
All of these events are leading up to an invitational WAAE (World Alliance for Arts Education) Summit in Newcastle October 30-November 3. The events following this event will still be linked and recommendations from all events will be considered for WAAE publications/materials – thus all events will lead to our joint (and sometimes also separate) recommendations to UNESCO.
The Call for Papers for this event has been extended to July 10. Please consider attending and presenting at this important event. More information

The World Creativity Summit
One of the significant recent InSEA initiatives is collaboration with two other world arts education organizations to form the World Alliance for Arts Education (WAAE). InSEA President Doug Boughton (2004-2006) and members of the InSEA World Council established a working party to explore ways to respond to recent UNESCO arts policy. Leaders of the International Drama/Theatre and Education Association (IDEA) and the International Society for Music Education (ISME) were invited to contribute to this discussion and one of the most important outcomes of the meeting was the creation of the World Alliance. The first result of the international multi-disciplinary alliance is the Joint Declaration on Arts Education for the UNESCO World Congress of Arts in Education held in Lisbon, Portugal, in March 2006. This document establishes a fundamental position that arts education groups around the world can cite for direction and support.
InSEA President Ann Kuo (2006-2008) has actively worked within the World Alliance organization to plan the first World Creativity Summit (WCS) in Hong Kong, July 23-25, 2007. This international meeting brings together more than 100 innovative educators, scholars, and leaders from around the world to develop initiatives that will serve to ?nurture the creative and transformative potentials of every human being in the world.? These are the words of the World Creativity Summit Director and? IDEA President, Dan Baron Cohen. Participants in the Summit include InSEA President, Ann Kuo, Past-President John Steers, Secretary Michael Day, and World Councilors Lourdes Samson and Fernando Hernᮤez.
The excellent website for the World Creativity Summit can be found at this address: http://worldcreativitysummit.org/index.htm
The website features information about IDEA, ISME, and InSEA, goals, program, and methodology for the Summit, and brief biographies of each participant. Also on this site is a copy of World Alliance for Arts Education?s Joint Declaration on Arts Education. There is a wealth of information on the site for interested art educators. President Ann Kuo is developing the 2nd World Creativity Summit to be held in Taiwan in 2008, sponsored by InSEA and government, community, and education partners. Watch for more information as planning goes forward for the 2008 Summit.
