At InSEA, we believe that art transforms people’s lives.
Gifts in Wills are an important and crucial source of funding, providing lasting support which will help to safeguard InSEA’s ability to enrich more people’s lives now and in the future. Remember InSEA in your will
There are many ways you can make a gift which is both simple and efficient:
Residuary: the amount left over after all other costs, for example, funeral expenses, have been deducted
Pecuniary: a fixed sum of money
Specific: a gift of a particular named item, for example, a painting, building or land
Reversionary: a gift to a loved one for use during his or her lifetime which can then be passed onto a specified charity after this time
Leaving a gift in your will is an effective lasting contribution without any immediate outlay. Legacies left to charities are free from inheritance tax, which means a legacy could result in your tax bill being reduced.
If you have already made a will, you can add an amendment, known as a codicil, which InSEA can provide for you. We do recommend that you consult with your legal advisor when deciding upon making a legacy.
By making a gift to InSEA, you are recognising the work that we do and the difference we make to people’s lives. No gift is too large or too small. Whatever the size, your gift can and will make a difference.
TALK TO US
Leaving a gift in your will is an important decision to make.
If you would like to find out more, or have an informal chat please contact the Treasurer, Secretary or President via the CONTACT US page.
Your gift will be treated with confidentiality and with sensitivity.
We hope to hear from you soon.
President
I'm a son, father, husband, brother, learner, artist, professor and president of InSEA, I studied at the Glasgow School of Art and the University of Strathclyde. I write regularly about issues in art and design education (articles, chapters, co-editor of the Relate North and series editor of Learning through Art series of books, principal editor of IJETA 2010-16). I support art for all and help people interested in art and education connect through the global community of InSEA. As president and in my work at the University I strive, to paraphrase Einstein, keep my balance by riding my bike.

InSEA is very important for us who believe that arts are both a human creation and a human right, that reveal a huge range of aesthetics of communities and, therefore, must have a relevant place in the field of Education.

At this moment it´s an honor to participate as a Councillor of the World Council for the Latin America region, seeking to contribute to the articulation of our cultures, to the participation of many Art/Educators, promoting debates on our practices and research in the different fields of interest that InSEA advocates.

Chair: InSEA Asia Regional Council (Executive Board)
I hope to start “One Teacher One Course” project, that should support the development of Asian school art teachers, through collaboration with art education researchers, while providing the world with an Asian perspective on art education.
Asia has a strong tradition in art education that can contribute to diversity in our field. There are many art teachers who has been great in passing down Asian art traditions in the contemporary context of school art education. However, due to language barrier and lack of research methods, their experience remains regional and unknown to the academic world. I think ARC should take the responsibility to support them through collaborative research and provide resources for their publication, so that those precious Asian experience can be appreciated and shared in our field.
I believe this project is to unite Asian art educators for common good.
World Councillor: Europe
As a person, I am an optimist. As a scientist, I am a doubter. As an art educator, I use both perspectives as resources.
For me, art education includes providing a space and atmosphere where students of any age do things that may exceed my own capabilities. I have sought to do this in school, teacher training and university for more than 20 years now. Currently I am professor of art education with special interests in global contexts and digital media.
I am still learning to be not so German about things, although I must admit that sometimes it helps.
