-To provide a physical space and nurture the creative talents of the Bhutanese youth (In School Youth and Out of School Youth); - To learn how to decipher the moral and ethical values concealed in works of art and how to put those morals into a personal perspec- tive, while also examining them in the context of the artists’ own beliefs; - To promote volunteerism for both personal and general sobering - To spread social awareness through art - To promote the importance of Bhutan’s rich cultural heritage and tradition through art
Because the concept of GNH strongly advocates achieving a harmo- nious balance between the material and non-material dimensions of development, art education can help youth foster the values of tradition and creativity while improving cognitive and intellectual development. If the ideals of GNH necessarily imply that a broader strategy and focus be one that constantly places people at the centre of development, children and youth must be given a special place with a special attention toward their development. A CSO that uses arts education to teach children to observe, analyse and express themselves in a relevant and contemporary manner could both fur- ther and serve the aims of GNH. Arts can create a sense of harmony between art, culture and development, while enhancing young peo- ple’s ability to approach the future with con dence but also respect and appreciation, thereby contributing to GNH
