- Exposes students to the local arts in their community and to the country they are living in (TIW, TIP)
- Enables them to work in a production or performance role (TPPP)
- Allows the IB students to work as a crew in production – understanding the needs of other and also articulating their own needs (for the PPP and RI)
- And many more……..
