Education Overview
We have a passion for education, and our goal is to inspire self-motivated learning through the arts. Our educational principles guide our work with students, educators and partner institutions.
The Silk Road Project provides a gateway to greater understanding of the world through active educational programs and resources and multidisciplinary explorations of topics inspired by the Silk Road.
Current educational initiatives
- Silk Road Connect, a multi-year, multidisciplinary educational program for middle school students, with partner schools in New York City and Boston
- The Arts and Passion-Driven Learning, a weekend summer institute for educators and teaching artists from all disciplines
Other educational resources and programs
The Silk Road Project is affiliated with Harvard University, exploring connections between the arts and academics. The Silk Road Ensemble also conducts short-term residencies in museums and universities and workshops with music students.
