Creative Arts Education and Therapy (CAET) webinar series: History, Applications and Frontiers

Following the success of our webinar series Laban – History, Applications and Frontiers launched in 2017 and has attracted audience worldwide, we are planning a second series titled “Creative Arts Education and Therapy – History, Applications and Frontier


Following the success of our webinar series Laban – History, Applications and Frontiers, which was launched in 2017 and has attracted audience worldwide, we are planning a second series titled “Creative Arts Education and Therapy – History, Applications and Frontiers”.  We are inviting some of the most influential and promising educators and therapists to deliver the online presentations. This year-long program aims at bringing the professionals in the arts education and therapy field together throughout the world to stimulate a critical dialogue and facilitate networking to strengthen our profession, in line with the mission of CAET journal (http://caet.quotus.org/info/aims_and_scope).  

The whole series has several modules in the education and therapy related to different art forms of music, drama, dance, expressive art, poetry and play. Each module consists of 3-10 seminars. Every seminar is one hour in total, including 40-45min lecture plus 15-20min Q&A session. All sessions are live and recorded, so as to be available for future instruction and learning. For this to happen, we have recruited a team to support the technical and logistic aspects of the sessions.

In the meantime, our Laban series run till Oct 2018.  The CAET series, consisting of 35 webinars, will be launched in the second half of the year and will run through 2020.  We will confirm the schedule of the speakers in our final plan. From these webinar presenters, we will eventually select the speakers for the International Conference in Arts and Health (ICAH) held live in Europe and China. In addition, part of the revenues from this webinar series will be used to sponsor some speakers and participants to attend the ICAH.

On behalf of Inspirees Institute, CAET journal and our partner institutions, I invite you to join us for this exciting new venture.

CAET Journal

Creative Arts in Education and Therapy (CAET): Eastern and Western Perspectives is an international peer-reviewed journal for artists, educators and therapists who use and integrate creative and expressive arts in their work. The journal’s focus is the discussion of perspectives, theory-based applications and practical results on issues concerning West and East. The journal fosters dialogue between East and West, and supports cross-disciplinary cooperation and research between creative arts and education, therapy, psychology, medicine, and other related fields. CAET publishes two issues per year reaching the mainstream as well as major institutions such as the National Library of China, Royal Dutch National Library, Chinese Central Conservatory of Music, Art Therapy Italiana, Lesley University, Hong Kong University, China Academy of Art, East China Normal University, etc. http://caet.quotus.org

Chinese Arts Therapy Group

The Chinese Group of Arts Therapy (CGAT) established in 2016, is under the guidance of the Committee of Clinical and Counseling Psychology (CCCP), the Chinese Psychological Society (CPS). CGAT is currently the only working group focusing on creative and expressive arts therapies in the Society.  CGAT was initiated and led by Dr. Tony Zhou, Executive Editor of CAET, along with six other experts from academic and clinical institutions who are on the executive board with two professors from Taiwan on the advisory board.  Under CGAT, four working sub-groups are being set up to cover four major categories, including art therapy, dance movement therapy, drama therapy and music therapy. One of the major goals of CGAT is to consolidate the above four areas and foster more collaboration among them, as well with other fields in China and abroad; this includes verbal psychotherapies, rehabilitation and arts.  CGAT will also be working closely with CCCP on the Clinical Psychology Registration for the credentials of the registered Chinese arts therapists.
