About us
Dream A World Education’s programs change school culture. We engage parents, create collaboration between teachers, influence school administration and by means of our artists and staff create an environment that is compassionate and loving. We work primarily in low-income public schools in the greater Los Angeles area and occasionally at Festivals and special events. Our arts programs promote social education, develop positive life skills and foster greater self-awareness by creating a clear link between self-expression in the arts and the choices a child makes in everyday life.
