<p dir="ltr">Our <a href="https://www.skateistan.org/what-we-do">Skate and Create</a> program provides children with an hour of skateboarding and an hour of creative, arts-based education. Students in our Skate and Create program follow four curriculums per year. The curriculum is adapted for the context of each location, but in each quarter, all of our four Skate Schools will be following the same outline. Lesson plans aim to help children explore their creativity, exercise critical thinking skills, discover new talents and areas of interest and to understand their own role in making the world a better place.&nbsp;</p>
