Great to meet students from Sacred Heart in London to see La Bohème as part of the @RoyalOperaHouse National Create and Learn programme.

As the @DiversityAPPG Chair, I'm pleased to see their commitment to breaking down barriers. The arts should be for all!

Lots of useful stuff on skills and technical education in here, lots of crossovers with @DiversityAPPG work too

[Dave O'Brien @DrDaveOBrien]

“Despite all of the EDI schemes underway, the research highlights a concern that any new scheme, regardless of its good intentions, adds to a crowded set of interventions. The researchers call on the screen and games industries to think differently”

[TV Industry Human Rights Forum @TVIHRForum]

Very useful study from @CreativePEC, @mission44 and @HCareyWF mapping the wide range of equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) schemes across the creative industries and identifying many limitations across the current landscape of support @tweetCDN @DiversityAPPG

[Dave O'Brien @DrDaveOBrien]

Tomorrow! I’m talking @NUartdes about the @DiversityAPPG work on creative HE, apprenticeships, and how policy and Unis need to change to make creative industries more diverse. All welcome!

@DiversityAPPG @KingsCollegeLon @OfficialUoM @UAL @phf_uk @YouTube @CreativePEC Excellent report 👏 Among the recommendations to DfE is a "cultural education plan with targeted provision from early years foundation stage to key stage 4". I'd love this to cover the cost of inviting artists, poets, writers and musicians into schools. #MakingCreativeMajority

[Music Masters @UKMusicMasters]
