Arts Award on Voice

Not going to lie – being an apprentice is hard, especially if you've only just started out. BUT, if you are determined and persistent like me, then you'll do just fine. I'm currently starting my Gold Arts Award with Unit Twenty Three as the Projects Assistant, and so far it's going pretty well. So I'm going to provide some information on what it's like to be a new apprentice. Don't worry, you'll be fine. Trust me!

Arts education is not effective in demonstrating the value of the arts to young people.

Could the block style sandbox game stimulate creativity and allow children to easily create individual utopias?

Hello and welcome to our first Random Acts Voicebox blog! In this space we hope to post all the latest updates about this brilliantly exciting new project along with clips and stills from the shoots as well as blogs from our young artists and filmmakers about the experience.

This month we're discussing the important role of creativity within education, and beyond. It's not just about getting a great career and scoring the top grades (although creativity can help with that too!) it's also about what it means to be human, and where 'home' is to you.

Issues with commitment and hard work may be more accurate...

Imagine a world in which equality is universal. Not just between men and women, but between creatives and academics.

This second blog instalment comes to you from a teal blue portacabin-box-office outside venue 13, at this year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

And we're off! 8 first year stage management students, 1 masters student, and a few 'responsible adults' packed across a couple of vans on a long old drive across borders from Wales to Scotland. And so begins my experience of this year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

I'm sorry I skipped last month, first time since I started the series. But I hope those involved in our Youth Network training, Latitude and Edinburgh projects will know why!
