India Foundation for the Arts (IFA), is an independent, professionally-managed philanthropic organisation, established in Bangalore in 1993. IFA enriches the practice, knowledge, public access to, and experience of the arts in India, by providing strategic support for innovative projects and capacity building across the arts.
One of IFA's major funding programmes is in the area of Arts Education. Its recent work in this area has been intensively focused on the empowerment of the school teacher through arts pedagogy training workshops. In particular, with support from Goethe-Institut, a far-reaching initiative called 'Kali-Kalisu' has brought multi-pronged Arts Education workshops to over 500 teachers in rural and small-town Karnataka.
As an extension of its work in the 'Kali-Kalisu' initiative, IFA and Goethe-Institut/Max Mueller Bhavan, Bangalore are organising a large Arts Education Conference on December 11 & 12, 2009 at Bangalore. This conference will perhaps be the first of its kind in the country. IFA invites interested participants to block dates. IFA is looking to involve a broad range of stakeholders, including policy makers, educationists, administrators, parents and students in the deliberations.
