An important, powerful call-to-arms on behalf of all young people and their entitlement to the arts in education …

Today we release our #ReportCard2024, revealing the state of crisis in cultural education. There has been a systemic and persistent deprioritisation of the Expressive Arts within England's schools.

[Derri Burdon @CuriousDerriB]

Great day spent with incredible leaders of cultural education from the North West, Yorkshire & @ace_thenorth. It’s clear that our collective commitment & expertise has never been more needed than it is now. Looking forward to what we can achieve together. #NorthernLCEPs.

[Curious Minds @CuriousMindsNW]

What a wonderful day we've had welcoming LCEPs from across the North to get together to look at collaboration and best practice. Thank you to everyone who has been involved, including @ace_national and @HOME_mcr.

Been down today? Please reply and say hello 👋

[Derri Burdon @CuriousDerriB]

So proud of this course and the difference it is making to how cultural venues are welcoming and engaging with young people.

[Curious Minds @CuriousMindsNW]

Last year we delivered a session of I'm a Teenager, Get Me Into There! for staff at Bradford District Museums & Galleries @BradfordMuseums

Let's hear what they took from the session.

Next public dates:

[Derri Burdon @CuriousDerriB]

So true. That’s why @CuriousMindsNW have invested in becoming expert facilitators of ICA #ConsensusWorkshops to enable highly energised, inclusive and meaningful group collaboration where every voice is heard and every idea considered.

[✨ Donna Hall ✨ @ProfDonnaHall]

It’s usually the reticent person with their head down; the quietest in the room whose voice is shaking as they speak. They can’t make eye contact, & sometimes cannot speak at all. But their ideas are just 🤩 Meetings, focus groups aren’t for them so WE need to listen differently

Saw this poem this morning and not stopped crying thinking about it all day. It’s ace.

[Derri Burdon @CuriousDerriB]

@BBCBreakfast great you’re highlighting the issue of declining school trips. @CuriousMindsNW’s @Ke11yA11en talks about how schools can get better value from the investment in trips and visits using evidence we’ve gathered from 000’s individual visits: https://t.co/yh7MPfXVht

"But the impoverishment of local authorities, whose government grant has been cut by half between 2010 and 2017 and whose council revenue fell by 20% between 2009 and 2019, is poisoning our cultural grassroots."
