C.A.L.A.B.A.S.H. Arts Infused Framework
Arts infused Teaching Artists and Educators
The Calabash Workshop invites educators and leaders to explore the calabash as a cultural symbol of creativity, wholeness, and interconnectedness. Through arts-infused strategies, participants will discover how to weave storytelling, movement, visual arts, and reflection into everyday classroom practice. The calabash becomes a living metaphor: just as its sections hold nourishment, each part of the classroom community holds knowledge, creativity, and voice.
