Over 200 Israeli Schools Participate in the Arts Olympiad

The Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport of the State of Israel organized a conference at the Teachers Sports Institute to introduce the Arts Olympiad to art and sports inspectors and instructors representing different regions in Israel. The conference program included a power-point presentation, lectures on art and sport in history, art and sport curricula, and brainstorming in order to suggest integrative activities in the classroom. Dr. Naomi Jaffe, National Superintendent for Art & Theater Studies for the Ministry, informed ICAF that by October 2004 already 200 schools were participating in the Israeli Arts Olympiad.
