This literature review, which was commissioned by Arts Education Partnership, covers what has been written in the arts integration field between 1995 and 2007. Although there is no single concept about what arts integration means, the review covers the range of educational practices labeled as ‘arts integration’, ‘interdisciplinary,’ ‘arts-infused,’ or ‘cross-disciplinary,’ as well as ‘thematic’ and ‘arts-based’.

In October 2007 a pamphlet was published that outlines the structure and objectives of Finland’s Ministry of Education, which directs Finnish cultural policy. The publication describes the Ministry’s areas of responsibility: education, research culture, copyright, sports, youth, church affairs, and libraries. It also provides some background data on the Finnish cultural sector and details of the major government agencies responsible for art and culture.

You may download the publication for free at the ministry website .
