Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents twenty-seven successful arts-based efforts to respond to social problems experienced by disadvantaged communities. The arts are a powerful means of fighting discrimination, marginalisation, neglect, even poverty. The educational programs described in these chapters help stakeholders find solutions are research-based, adaptable, repeatable and sustainable. Social problems that are addressed in the book include children living with physical challenges, suffering from financial and educational poverty; elderly women suffering from solitude; migrants facing a strange and not always welcoming cultural context; Roma youth fighting negative stereotypes, and many more. Revealing the interconnectedness between social, economic, and cultural exclusion, contributors planned interventions to develop skills, strengthen identities and build communities. The book will be of interest to scholars working in the visual arts, art education, design education, drama and theatre education, and museum pedagogy.
