Regional Arts Victoria's Education and Families program (formerly arts2GO) provides young people across Victoria with the opportunity to experience, engage with and participate in high-quality live performing and visual arts. Current research highlights the positive impact of young people’s involvement in the arts including increased motivation, self-confidence and creative thinking, student engagement and improved school attendance.
RAV's incursion program is an inspiring, contemporary, and educational way to promote the value of the arts to young people in your community.
Education and Families offers programs in two main categories:
On the Road: the touring program taking performances and workshops to schools and communities in both metropolitan and regional Victoria across specific dates.
On Call: performances and workshops available for your venue and school any time of the year.
