| Abstract | University participation among students from low socio-economic backgrounds in Australia is low and nationwide strategies are in place to help bridge the gap. This article presents a preliminary evaluation of a creative arts-based outreach program to raise awareness and aspiration for university study among students from low-income backgrounds. The program is part of a national Australian federally funded initiative, the Higher Education Participation and Partnerships Program. It reviews an outreach advertising program facilitated by a Brisbane university. We argue that arts education has a particular role in provoking attitudinal change, due to the self-reflective, meaning-making and expressive characteristics of arts-based disciplines. In evaluating the advertising program, the value of creativity and trust as techniques of student engagement is considered. Evaluation occurred in two outer suburban high schools in Brisbane (a State capital city), using surveys and ethnographic fieldwork. The findings support an engagement model that employs creativity and uses student facilitators (undergraduate and postgraduate) to deliver the program, to meet the programs aims. © 2015 HERDSA. |
Widening participation creatively: creative arts education for social inclusion. The extended period of engagement enables time for students to either produce an artefact or a performance and we suggest enables greater opportunity for attitudinal change in part due to the transformative capacity of creative arts-based disciplines. Analysis of the advertising program focuses on the ways in which the concepts of trust and creativity are encouraged to engender motivation and authentic engagement and thus encourage the overall aims of HEPPP. Studies have shown that art teaching is often imbued with strategies and behaviour that encourages inclusion focusing on respect and encouragement. The quality of advertisements reflected their level of engagement and enthusiasm while many asked for advice on university courses entry requirements and so forth.
