Arts and Social Work Resource

The magazine Social Dialogue has dedicated a special issue to the exploration of art and social work. Social work is like a sister field to El Sistema and has much to offer our programs. The free magazine introduces practical ideas, including pedagogical approaches to promote student engagement with social justice issues, and ways of using art and storytelling to teach critical theory.

The special issue features case studies from around the globe, including Japan, Nepal, India, Germany and Azerbaijan. Read about socially engaged arts like El Sistema from the perspective of social workers around the world.
