10. Our inspiration
UBUNTU (human kindness). Or better understood in English as “People are people through other people” and “I am human because I belong to the human community and I view and treat others accordingly “.

11. All human beings are interconnected
UBUNTU
All human beings are interconnected
Every action has implications for all those around us

12. Using an arts approach Based on emotional response Personal response
Addressing language barrier
Resilience
Enjoyment of school
Positive attitudes
We decided upon an arts and sport based approach to both the education of teachers and the education of children for two reasons
The arts and sports are currently deeply under threat in education through the rhetoric of back to basics, inspection regimes, and official dissing of arts as micky mouse subjects or unable to generate jobs
The arts and sports are essentially about bringing together those important aspects of emotion, culture, community, identity and spiritual/meaning making aspects of life
