Education Programs
Programs for Schools, Educators and Communities.
Arena’s education programs bring creativity and live experiences into classrooms, studios and communities. Designed for young people, educators and artists, our programs build confidence, creative thinking and genuine artistic voice – through making, not just watching.
SCHOOLS
Arena brings original work and creative learning directly into classrooms across Victoria. Through workshops, performances and residencies, students engage with stories, ideas and artistic processes in ways that stay with them.
COUNTRY & BELONGING
Country & Belonging is Arena’s First Nations-led arts residency, connecting young people with place, identity and culture through creative practice. Designed for schools and communities, the program supports respectful engagement and deep learning through storytelling and collaboration.
CREATIVE LABS
Creative Labs are spaces for making, experimenting and following ideas wherever they lead. Open to children, families, schools and communities, these programs are built on curiosity, collaboration and the belief that everyone has something worth making.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Arena offers professional development for educators and theatre makers, building skills, deepening practice and opening up new ways of working with young people. For anyone who believes in the power of creative experience to change how young people see themselves and the world.
