Arts Rich schools – what they are and how to become one

15/5/2021

1 Comment

 
Bookings are now open for Artsworks final CPDL event of this academic year on Arts Rich schools – what they are and how to become one.  This free CPDL event takes place via Zoom on 30th June 2021 between 3pm-5pm.

Arts-Rich Schools - What They Are and How To Become One Tickets, Wed 30 Jun 2021 at 15:00 | Eventbrite
 
Explore how raising the profile of arts and creativity can energise teaching and learning for the whole school community.  Drawing on the Royal Society of Arts’ (RSA’s) research into Arts-Rich Schools published in January 2020, this event will provide inspiration and practical tips to enable you to harness the transformative power of the arts, culture and creativity.  Samantha Cairns, Co-Director of the Cultural Learning Alliance led the Arts-Rich Schools research project and we are delighted that she will lead this CPDL session, reflecting on the key findings of what an arts-rich school looks like.  We will hear presentations from three different education settings in the South East who will outline their offer, their journey to becoming arts-rich and its benefits for pupils, staff and the wider school community. 
 
This event is suited to senior leaders, arts leaders and teachers of any subject or phase who aspire to develop an arts-rich offer in their practice and settings.  Places are free but limited.  Previous events in this series sold out, so please secure your place soon.
 
Many thanks to those of you who were able to attend our two previous DfE-funded CPDL events this academic year.  Summaries and presentations from these events are available on our website.  The October event discussed Pupil Wellbeing and reconnecting with learning through creativity and in March we heard from schools taking creative approaches to Transition.

Freelance artist event

Free Event - Taking (bank) notes: Pay Parity in the Cultural Sector

How can we emerge as a stronger cultural community from the pandemic? How can we ensure creative freelancers recover with greater financial security and organisations support that recovery?

Organisations often offer day rates for creative freelance work, but do we have a shared understanding of what these day rates need to cover for creative freelancers in order that they can have a sustainable career?

In this interactive session The Uncultured (Ashleigh Bowmott + Laura Sweeney) will share provocations and useful information on how we could shift the balance of pay disparity between arts and cultural sector freelance day rates and salaries. 

The first hour of the session will be open to both organisations and freelancers, the second part of the session will be exclusively for freelancers. The event will be BSL interpreted and zoom transcription will be in place. If you are a freelancer on a low income please enquire about our £50 bursaries.

Introducing - Amplify Profiling children and young people's voice in creative & cultural learning

15/5/2021

2 Comments

 

A youth voice initiative by Arts Council England's Bridge Network.   

The Bridge network has come together to collaboratively launch a new digital series focusing on good practice in children and young people voice across England. 

14th May will see the launch of a new online digital magazine series that highlights elements of best practice around fostering ‘children and young people’s voice (CYP Voice), in the context of creative and cultural learning. 

Launched collectively by the National Bridge Network and aimed at professionals working in the cultural, education and youth sectors, the series will showcase examples of adult-led CYP informed work as well as CYP initiated work.  

The Bridge network's collective goal is to demonstrate the range of conditions that enable young people to develop their voice in different contexts e.g. cultural sector, youth sector, education sector and community. 
 
The episodes will reflect on the impact of Covid19 and how it has affected young people and how they have adapted to using different platforms to get their voices heard. 
The initiative aims to encourage greater interest in and uptake of leading practice around encouraging CYP voice and young people’s leadership in a range of settings.  

Each episode will be published biweekly, initially for 3 months, and will follow themes covering, Wellbeing, Young Creatives, Child lead learning, Board participation, Changemakers and Ambassadors.   

The concept of this resource is to enable viewers who are well-practised in this work, and those who are just starting out to equally find meaningful and useful information related to questions such as: How is this ‘youth voice' work managed, What impact does ‘youth voice 'activity have both on your organisation and the young people who are participating? and How do you fund your youth voice 'activity."  

The first episode, focusing on wellbeing, is available to view below
