2023, what a year! 😅 Here's a brief recap of our incredible year at PYE. A huge thanks to all of our collaborators and supporters in this work! Cheers to each of you, we look forward to reconnecting and inspiring more creativity in 2024 💫

THANK YOU to all of our 2023 funders that made all of our work possible at PYE. Your investment into PYE’s mission helps us to bring creativity into learning and healing spaces where young people can step into their power and thrive. We are so grateful for your support.

Artéria has worked with school leaders, teachers, counselors and arts educators from all corners of Brasil to help reach their dream of an educational system that is more creative, equitable and relevant.  Visit buff.ly/3uLc2Fw to learn more

Today, it is led by Silvia Giovannoni and Bira Azevedo who have been using principles from the Model to innovate and create professional development trainings in the areas of psychological safety, mental health, arts rich teaching environments and more.

The season of gratitude continues, & we're thankful for all of our partners & allies in this work. Inspired by PYE’s Global Gathering in 2013 & by the work of PYE Cofounder Charlie Murphy, Artéria was founded in São Paulo, Brasil to spread the Creative Empowerment Model to all.
