Educational Resources

Last year we received numerous requests for scholarly papers, most requests came from students who were undertaking doing NHC and Carnival Arts-based influenced studies. Our searches highlighted a plethora of evidence-based publications, essays, documents, thesis, newspaper articles, reviews, books etc. Some of which may not be readily accessible. We offer some examples here, with the aim of providing a brief summary of the arts, and as we continue to add to this page, we hope to help guide the reader of its relevance for him/her to seek the full-length article. We also plan to provide links to articles, and include information on centres and institutions the world over where related work is in progress. Please watch this space!
