We’re teaming up with the very best partners, from across the arts education landscape, to develop high-quality experiences, easy-to-use resources and useful CPD for your Access All Arts week. Along the way we’ll be sharing exciting opportunities to help you kickstart your creative adventure.
In partnership with The Eden Project, Crafts Council have launched a new national craft challenge for primary and secondary learners aged 5-16. Through a creative brief, learners will be challenged to use craft and making to explore the impact of climate change on every day life. Teachers will be provided with a toolkit of resources to help deliver the challenge in school, as well as online teacher training sessions and monthly online catchups. Register by 14 February 2024 to take part. Learn more here.
In September 2023, the National Portrait Gallery announced the launch of Schools hub, a new online resource for students and teachers. Featuring more than 150 newly commissioned learning resources and videos, all linked to the Art & Design and History National Curriculum, the hub has been developed by and with teachers, artists, historians and education experts. Schools hub brings the Gallery’s remote, school-based and in-person offers together as one cohesive programme. It explores themes such as identity, empire and migration, whilst connecting students directly with artists from their Collection. Learn more here.
