Soul Garden – Art Education Teacher Training Program is designed for educators, integrating theory, creative practice, and teaching skills sharing. The team consists of master's and doctoral graduates in education, psychology, and fine arts, dedicated to promoting art education, art therapy, and multicultural inclusive learning. The program helps participants appreciate and respect the uniqueness of different social strata from an artistic perspective, fostering social harmony. Using an art-thinking pedagogical approach combined with psychology, the course enables participants to understand themselves, recognize sources of stress, master self-awareness and stress-relief methods, enhance positive energy, convey community care, and strengthen the spirit of mutual support among residents. The project organizes corresponding lectures, training, and sharing activities based on the needs of schools, students, and teachers, encouraging home-school cooperation to improve teaching effectiveness.
