In the 19th century, 'The 3 Rs' - reading, writing and arithmetic - were seen as the foundations of all education. With rapid advancements in the digital age, not surprisingly, 21st-century educators founding the Partnership for 21st Century Skills (2002) looked for knowledge and skills that were more relevant to success in the modern world and would equip learners with the flexibility to cope with ever-accelerating change. The long list became known as 'the 4Cs' deemed the most important skills of 21st-century learning: critical thinking, communication, collaboration and creativity. Our research, however, lead us to ask: Is this skillset all that is required in order to flourish in a future of innovation, uncertainty and change? To this end, we proposed a further 4Cs to be added to this list to empower educators and learners to move forward: curiosity, compassion, connection and courage. Skills that are at the heart of the transformative power of art education. This paper explores our rationale for their inclusion and how these ideas have contemporary relevance across the Arts disciplines.
