What\u00a0they\u00a0are saying\u2026<\/h2>\n
Over the past three years, our work in east London, catalyzing, convening, and occasionally curating has been a valuable way of testing models of shared ownership across the cultural and education sector in order to ensure that young people in east London get a consistent and high-quality experience of culture. \u00a0To this end, the Creative Schools programme has been a hugely successful demonstration of what can be achieved by working together, supporting over 5000 children and young people to access creative and cultural experiences through their school
\nSean Gregory, Director of Learning and Engagement, Barbican<\/a>\/ Guildhall School of Music & Drama<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\nThe Creative Schools Programme was a brilliant way for us to connect with like-minded schools and teachers. As a result of participating we are now working with a number of schools to support their Artsmark journey and the feedback from the teachers has been extremely positive. This is a great way for creative companies to work with schools.
\nTilly Brooke, Director of School Engagement and Marketing, now>press>play<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\nThe Symposium was absolutely amazing and me and my colleagues were blown away. \u00a0We had such good fun and it really ignited the spark for us and reminded me why I was so keen to be part of Creative Schools.
\nRedbridge teacher\u00a0on Creative Schools Symposium\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\nAt a time of great change within the school system, my feeling is that the arts are becoming marginalised and undervalued. Things such as Artsmark open a dialogue with schools and people in the wider creative sector, as opposed to the national curriculum which is very much a conversation within education.
