About InSEA
The non-governmental organization of the United Nations Educational, Scientific,
and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)the International Society for Education
Through Art (InSEA) was founded in the aftermath of World War II.
InSEA’s constitution was formally adopted in Paris in July 1954 with Edwin
Ziegfeld as the first President. With changes to reflect the times, Read’s ideas
continue to serve as the foundation of InSEA’s contemporary mission:
Education through art is a natural means of learning at all periods of the
development of the individual, fostering values and disciplines essential for
full intellectual, emotional and social development of human beings in a
community;
Association on a worldwide basis of those concerned with education through art
is necessary in order that they may share experiences, improve practices and
strengthen the position of art in relation to all education;
International co-operation and the better understanding between peoples would be
furthered by a more completely integrated design and permanent structure for the
diffusion of beliefs and practices concerning education through art, so that the
right of man to ‘freely to participate in the cultural life of the community, to
enjoy the arts’ and to create beauty for himself in reciprocal relationship with
his environment, would become a living reality.
Today’s InSEA has on-line and face-to-face meetings, virtual and on-site
exhibitions of children’s art, research publications and symposia, and Internet
portals to a vast range of teaching and learning resources often with access to
museums and galleries world-wide.
The regional and world congresses are interesting meeting places and events
for involved members and interested art educators.
