Over the last few years we have recognized the need to engage the arts as a resource for healing, community development and urban regeneration. The arts have the capacity to help us recognize and celebrate beauty, whilst at the same time it has a way of critiquing that which destroys beauty, both in humanity and in creation at large.

In 2006 expanded the programme in partnership with MIAGI, adding classes in music theory and musical instruments. We are also exploring the roll-out of learnerships and/or workshops in clowning, mime, drumming and the visual arts.
Besides its weekly programme the School hosts art workshops during the annual Feast of the Clowns.
People cannot live from bread alone. They also need to express themselves creatively, thereby restoring themselves, affirming the beauty within, and sharing it with others. God’s Spirit is a creative and creating Spirit. |

In 2005 we finally launched the School of Creative Arts with the creation of a dance and creative movement programme. |
|
Five community dance educators were trained and we will offer regular learnerships to expand the pool of community educators. |
