You’ll need to excuse me for my pride, but I worked so hard for this one!
I’m officially Crisel Consunji, M.Ed. 🌈
After two and a half years of attending courses— while running a business, promoting a film internationally, managing through socio-political upheaval, and going through the pandemic— it’s a bit of a small miracle that I was able to get this done.
I have to say thanks to everyone who put up with me through this journey— Carsten for giving up our weeknights so I could attend classes, to my colleagues who tolerated my zoom classes in the office, and my professors who exercised understanding and patience when I couldn’t submit my papers on time. (Heaven knows how bad my papers were during my times of stress!)
But really, people ask me why I gave so much time and resources on this project. It’s quite simple: In these past few years, I’ve realised even more how integral arts-based education is, and yet how little attention is being given to it.
Arts Education seems often relegated to the “extra-curricular” when it is in fact core curriculum in the early years. Imagine teaching numbers and letters without music, or building vocabulary without movement or creative play!
Ultimately, my big dream is to support capacity building and program support within schools, early childhood educators, community organisations, and the families themselves.
I’d consider our job done when there is arts-based learning in every early childhood school, in every community centre, and in every home.
So let’s keep moving forward! 💪🏼
