Sustainable Arts Education in a Prosumer World

This chapter presents the recent contributions of United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the World Alliance of Arts Education (WAAE) and the International Network for Research in Arts Education (INRAE) to international arts education. It discusses several dimensions of culture and explores their implications for sustainable arts education in a prosumer world. It also raises two issues related to education that seem to have far-reaching and broad emphasis today, including education and human capital and the arts as cultural production.
