Terrific discussion at today’s #YouthFocusNW #SpotLightOnYouthWork! Conference. Enjoyed presenting about @CuriousMindsNW and our work make art and culture accessible to young people

Yesterday, we were delighted to be joined by Eric Booth and some of our favourite people for a roundtable discussion. We may have filmed quite a bit of the conversation so expect that on our Instagram or YouTube in the upcoming weeks.

Excited to be helping @allthingstc evaluate the impact of this work - watch from 15mins in.

Great to see Sarah Hogarth from @LJMUScreen and @lorna_brookes from @ljmu_education on @BBC The One Show talking about '8 Hours There and Back', a hit play about children with families in prison. Watch in full ➡️bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…

A beautifully put together, thoughtful piece using real stories. Honoured to see it on its opening night and excited to work on the evaluation data as the show tours.

‘With AI able to support individualised learning, educators should act as curators of knowledge - cultivating creativity, critical thinking & other competencies to help foster deeper & more meaningful connections with each student.’ @SoulsbyAlex @theRSAorg thersa.org/comment/2024/0…

Absolutely delighted to see @teamMPA win in three categories at the Burnley Culture Awards, and to enjoy table-mates @JaiRedman and Reuben Lawless win as individuals with Fi Kay & Counter Culture highly commended. @BurnleyLeisure

Culture splurge this afternoon - bagged tickets for Rambert’s Peaky Blinders at The Lowry, Traplord at Factory International and yoga under Luke Jerram’s Museum of the Moon. A few more in the wishlist…

Every case we have read recently says “dad jailed” or “mother of six sentenced”. This exposes the children. Come and hear what the impact of the press reports has on them, their lives and in particular life at school. #8HoursThereandBack

📣 Today we've launched a new UK-wide initiative encouraging parents to feel comfortable visiting museums and galleries with their children. Over 20 museums are partnering with us to offer Kids Aloud slots - when noisy kids are allowed to be loud! 👉 artfund.org/kidsaloud

Listen out for Nick Hunt from @teamMPA on @BBCLancashire tomorrow talking about the plans for this year's Festival. He'll be joining Hayley Kay. @Superslowway @FGW1784 @CanalRiverTrust #BrilliantBurnley bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0j…
