At ISTA, we believe the arts are a force for connection, transformation, and global understanding.
By bringing young people, educators, and artists together, we foster empathy, creativity, and community across cultures and disciplines.
ISTA empowers an international community of young people, educators, and artists through transformative, collaborative arts experiences that spark creativity and ignite global learning.
We champion the arts as a central pillar of education and intercultural connection, envisioning a world shaped by young people who are empathetic, culturally intelligent, and creatively confident.
Through our unique Ensemble Method, we champion a collaborative, ensemble-driven approach where creativity, connection, and shared discovery take centre stage.
We nurture artists, educators, and young people to create, lead, and connect through the transformative power of the arts.
We lead through creativity, connection, community, and collaboration—values that guide every aspect of our work, shaping how we create, learn, and inspire others across the world.
