This publication aims to support teachers in using the affective power of experienced artist/educators from countries of the ‘South’ (Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean) to celebrate the diversity and complexity of other cultures; challenge negative perceptions about people from countries of the ‘South’; raise understanding about world development issues; encourage a greater commitment to global citizenship in the school community; integrate work with Southern artists into the broader school curriculum and help to meet OFSTED requirements. The publication offers practical guidance on how to go about working with an artist. It gives 10 examples of activities for use before, during and after the visit of the artist. It includes a directory of North of England-based Southern artists, and diagrams demonstrating links with the English National Curriculum.

“Timanyane is an excellent publication with a thought-provoking array of practical activities, all mapped to the National Curriculum. Use it to help unlock the huge potential of arts education to support global citizenship.”
