Sad to hear about the passing of Benjamin Zephaniah. A wonderful spirit. A masterful poet, musician, creative & an advocate for young people, creativity & the arts.

This tribute to creativity came out of a project that Colin was privileged to be a part of.https://t.co/t8WsXOPNV2

An all too rare opportunity to discuss all things culture, arts, learning and partnerships. We’ll be represented in the morning panel discussion.

We have a limited number of school bursaries available to cover the cost of staff taking a day away from teaching to attend our upcoming Conference in partnership with @LEEDS_2023, @UniversityLeeds, @IVEBridge, @UKRI_News and @Spiritof2012.

We could not be prouder of our Year 3 children today. Despite being the youngest on stage, there were no nerves, just lots of happy children performing to an appreciative audience of fellow dancers from all over Yorkshire @YorksDanceFest @WeAreBDAT @carriageworks_

Leeds came alive for 2 very special days. Big thanks to our performers, their teachers, our volunteers and the partner organisations. Dance is alive and kicking in schools - we just give it the platform it deserves.

James Drury always captures our events perfectly... & it's not always easy! Quick rehearsals, low lighting, fast paced activities.

Here's a shot from the first day of the Festival. He's smashed it again! Check out his profile @james_a_drury & his website https://t.co/9KOQK6Dvir.
