معاونین
GIVE was created by a large, cross-organizational team of Teaching Artists and Arts Administrators, credited on this page as Developers.
This team was supported by معاونین, who tested, reviewed, and added invaluable insight to the resources at various stages of development; Consultants, who provided their expert knowledge in ICT classroom specifics, disability, and arts education; and Researchers and Fundraisers, who supported the creation and continuation of the project or the associated research to measure the impact of GIVE. Current Trainers work with educators locally and nationally to support to build their schools in utilizing GIVE resources.
