Art opens up creativity of Tibetan kids

Education exchange provides students with more development opportunities

A school art program introduced in the mountainous Gala township of the Garze Tibetan autonomous prefecture in Sichuan province is fostering the creative development of the students there.

Wu Pengbo, an art teacher from Jinghua Elementary School in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, has spent nearly a month at a Gala boarding school in Yajiang county, revolutionizing the role of art in these students' lives.

Wu, 36, arrived with the intent to support and enhance art education at the school as it had previously lacked a dedicated art teacher.
