Amazing project! Great work that is much needed.

I enjoyed your website.  The home page paints a dynamic picture of connection and diversity.

The program description is impressively visionary and well-written. Have you organized (or do you aspire to offer) units exploring art forms in addition to writing, visual art, and drama?  The program seems well-suited, for example, to sharing experience through songs and dances.

There are notable shifts in your budget where commentary would be welcome -- e.g.,  the 100%+ jump on line 2 (personnel:  programmatic), the 300% jump on line 6 (rent), the 50% reduction on line 11 (revenue from contracted services), and even the big increase on line 14 (private support:  foundation, most of which is explained in budget detail later).  Comments in "Fiscal Condition" narrative could elucidate.

The video is magic.  Thoroughly enjoyed the shadow puppets, and the way this well-produced clip illustrates your process.

The proposal you've submitted is elegantly mission-driven -- and your mission is persuasively stated and impressively connected with high-profile studies.  Clearly, you have a vision for making art that nurtures "qualities that form the underpinnings of international cooperation and peace."  Write on!

E: Very clear objectives, goals, activities; detailed partnerships; clear timeline; some concern present about the ratio of "products" or processes that are arts-based or following a particular cultural theory/practice, as opposed to general prompt-based activity.

 

I: Strong demographic reach and appropriate opportunity to individual ratio; clearly laid out and defined.

 

M: Good external support record; very strong evaluation methods, though not clear what thresholds define success or what the exact learning outcomes are.

 

A: Excellent

As enthused as I am about the international exchange (and how do you deal with the very real differences in time zones?) I would really like to know more about the local projects aimed at at-risk and incarcerated youth. You might consider including this in future proposals. 

Your accessibility section does not address special accommodations for participants who have vision or hearing impairments.

Beautiful program! I was just wondering, in the measurable objectives, why 75% of students are able to improve their writing and artistic skills or increase their knowledge about other cultures. What happen to the 25% of children who cannot improve their skills?
