Jody discussed the work of the foundation over which she presides, AcciónArte. The foundation coordinates the Piensa en Arte (Think with Art) program which helps children develop their public speaking skills and ability to articulate through observing works of art.
Piensa en Arte is carried out in partnership with the public school system of Costa Rica. It equips elementary school teachers with a methodology for examining specific works of art with their class. The methodology is specifically designed to cultivate confidence in the students by empowering them to speak in a group and articulate their own observations of each work of art.
Piensa en Arte has been a resounding success for over a decade and currently impacts around 250,000 students. It is now a required, official part of the Spanish Language program for all public schools in Costa Rica.
For more information about the program Piensa en Arte, volunteer inquiries, or to make a donation to the foundation AcciónArte please send your emails to info@accionarte.org. You can also contact Jody directly at jodysteiger@gmail.com.
