The SEW – Arts project and associated resources were developed by the Telethon Kids Institute through funding from Healthway and in partnership with Edith Cowan University (ECU), and supported by The West Australian Ballet, the WA Youth Theatre Company (WAYTCo), and the Art Gallery of Western Australia (AgWA).
The website aims to support arts organisations to enhance students’ social and emotional wellbeing (SEWB) through their programs.
This website guides you through information and tools to:
