SGIS Arts

SGIS Arts has been established to provide opportunities for learning and celebration of the arts in schools throughout SGIS. The principal goals of the group are:

  • To connect Arts teachers across international schools within SGIS
  • To unlock the potential of Arts events/festivals for our students, both nationally and regionally
  • To give students and teachers the opportunity to meet, work with, and learn from peers and colleagues at other SGIS schools

SGIS ARTS TEACHER CONFERENCE 2025

The third annual SGIS Arts Conference will take place at International School Basel on Friday, 17 January 2025. Registration is now open for this event! Please fill in this form no later than Friday, 8 November 2024 if you wish to attend.

We are delighted to welcome Gerstaecker as our principal sponsor once again. As a result, there will be no participation fee for delegates. Participants will need to organise and pay for their own travel and accommodation as appropriate.

We look forward to another powerful day of professional development and networking within the artistic community of SGIS!
