Objectives

The START founders have taken the United Nation's Human Rights Council declaration on the 'Rights of the Child' as their code of conduct. Our belief in art and artists working without borders means that START can enable children to determine their own stories.

Every child has the right to self-expression, to be heard and acknowledged either orally, in writing or through artistic expression. Our programmes facilitate:

1) Art education for children who are culturally or socio-economically disadvantaged.
2) Consultation with policy makers to promote art as a catalyst for educational, social and life-long change.
3) Arts education programmes for children in war zones and those children displaced by war.
4) Innovative partnerships between global entrepreneurs and gifted children without resources or opportunities.
