Hi Leo, This year the Calgary Arts Academy visited Beijing to help promote 'arts immersion' which the Chinese government is very interested in moving forward with. The principal of the school, Dale Erickson, had previously met with education officials in Beijing to discuss this new and highly successful method of teaching and learning through the arts and how it could be applied in a Chinese context. My opinion is that WE and other online platforms are the natural arena for mixing a variety of media and art forms as ways of exploring content, and through this process bring greater cultural understanding and tolerance (not to mention the art that enriches all our lives!)
