Hi All,
Welcome to the September edition of the CCS Connect e-news. Thanks to those of you who shared opportunities and information for inclusion.
Teacher CPD Network - CCS have been successful in securing funding from Arts Connect to run a Teacher CPD network for Primary and Secondary schools, which we are really excited about.
Culture Consortium Shropshire (CCS) are currently working in partnership with CPD@UCS to research what teachers and schools need to embed creative learning across the whole curriculum and also skills needed to develop their art, drama and dance subjects.
Two consultation workshops are being held (dates tbc) and an online survey is being launched next week. This survey is for both Primary and Secondary settings in order to find out what the gaps are and plan future Teacher Networking and CPD events accordingly. Please get involved in the consultation and help shape the network.
Following this consultation, CCS and CPD@UCS will shape 4 termly teacher networks within Primary Art, Secondary Art & Design, Secondary Drama and Secondary Dance. We are hoping the first Networks will be available in November/December 2020. The networks are being supported by Arts Connect, the West Midlands Bridge Organisation who work with a variety of partners to ensure all children and young people can benefit from engagement in high quality arts and cultural activities.
Arts and cultural organisations, artists and practitioners will be invited to deliver CPD as part of the networks.

 Lights, Camera, Action – virtual film making workshops hailed as a success
Local artists and makers have recently taken part in a series of film making workshops thanks to an Arts Council funded initiative at Qube in Oswestry
Across three training sessions, held via Zoom, artists learned how to showcase their work in video format to maximum effect.
From walk through videos to studies of bees and slideshows of artwork the project has produced a library of work which can be viewed via the Qube website. https://qube-oca.org.uk/filmmaking-for-creative-practitioners/
 Screenshot from Mapping Memories video
Qube Arts Officer Jim Creed said ‘Being able to make quality digital film is a great way of promoting your work and we’ve received some really positive feedback from attendees. We had a real mix of content and it’s great to be able to share the results with the wider public. We hope to repeat the process again soon’.

 Dancing for children Making a Move
Making a Move is an easy to use collection of 30 dance lessons for primary aged children to continue to develop their dance skills and well-being. Each idea still enables children to work creatively and collaboratively whilst maintaining distance. The resource, priced at £20, is downloadable and printable for immediate use.
Making A Move has been written with the current Covid-19 guidance in mind. The 30 creative ideas are aimed at key stage 1 & 2 and they allow the children to respond imaginatively to movement ideas without the use of physical contact.
Visit doodledance.org.uk/making-a-move-book/ for more information.
Arts Connect and producers DanceXchange, are thrilled to share 6 short films from the first phase of the ambitious #DanceConnect project
#DanceConnect, which ran from May to August 2020, is a dance and digital experiment exploring how we can collaborate remotely across borders and boundaries, using movement and phones.
Every part of the creative enquiry project took place during COVID-19 lockdown so participants could not meet in person, enhancing innovation and creativity. Dance Artists, Young Dance Leaders and young people from across the West Midlands, specialising in different dance practices, met and worked together on Zoom in 5 groups. Together they explored “what kind of collaboration is possible when we can’t be together in the same space? What new forms of dance are possible and what new dance languages can be developed? How can working digitally enhance and expand practice? The Dance Artists and Young Dance Leaders also collaborated with Digital Artists Wayne Sables and Anthony Shintai, to capture and exchange movement on phones and laptops, and to further explore the creative enquiry questions. www.dancexchange.org.uk/danceconnect20/

 Social prescribing – Children and Young People
Shropshire Council are working on an exciting project to bring social prescribing to the children and young people of Shropshire, starting with the South West of Shropshire in Ludlow and Bishops Castle.
Social prescribing is a way of finding a non-medical solution to the problems that many young people face, physical and mental health conditions may be caused by social and environmental factors and instead of medical intervention we can use sources of non-medical support in the local community such as sport, volunteering, social groups, mentoring, life style balance and advice to help.
The project set up for adults has been very successful and now we are looking to reach the young people in our society that would benefit from a similar programme but based on a different level of needs.
We are looking for programmes, events and activities that would enable young people to engage, motivate, gain confidence, grow as individuals, set and achieve goals manage their mental health and inspire.
The project will rely on us engaging with young people on the right level and with the right technology to ensure we reach the young people that need the project and getting them to participate so that the programme is designed to meet their needs.
If you have any input or thoughts on the project, or groups that can offer the community development we are looking for or projects you are involved with within or outside the council that we could link up with please contact claire.downing@shropshire.gov.uk
 Meadow Arts Skin Deep Exhibition at Berrington Hall
14 September 2020 - 18 April 2021
A series of large and small-scale pastel drawings, by artist Oliver Jones, examine body image and the way that people modify themselves, through makeup, plastic surgery procedures and tattoos. This seemingly very contemporary obsession with image reflects the history of this house, where looks have been of paramount importance to its various residents over time. The ground floor level of the property is open (all of the exhibition artworks are on this level) and tickets need to be booked in advance. Tickets are released every Friday for the following week. Please check the Berrington Hall website for full social distancing and visitor guidelines.
Young Meadow Arts
We've been working on a project that aims to create a network of young people in our region to initiate contemporary art projects. At the moment, we're calling it Young Meadow Arts and we've put together a steering group that includes young advisors like Bethany Williams, who talks about the project on our blog.
The Young Meadow Arts project came about from Meadow Arts wanting to focus on young people within the visual arts more. The aim is to create a youth initiative centring around the idea of getting young people from the rural areas of the West Midlands engaging with contemporary art and supporting emerging artistic and curatorial talent in the region.

 Teachers’ Reading Challenge – Initiative created by The Reading Agency in partnership with The Open University – The Teachers’ Reading Challenge website, created by national charity The Reading Agency in partnership with The Open University, has now launched, encouraging teachers to sign up to the challenge and create a reading for pleasure teachers’ community, to discuss children’s literature and share strategies for developing children’s reading habits. The initiative aims to help teachers develop their reading repertoire of children’s texts and offers resources and advice on enhancing children’s reading experiences. Teachers who sign up to the Challenge will be invited to access a downloadable reading diary, find book recommendations, save books onto their own wish list, take part in discussions with fellow teachers using the message board, and leave reviews to help other teachers find their next read. Resources available on the Teachers’ Reading Challenge website will include booklists from authors, tips on reading aloud to children, advice on diversifying classroom libraries, and studies and research on the benefits of fostering reading for pleasure habits in children. www.teachersreadingchallenge.org.uk

National Arts, Creative and Cultural Education Survey: Results – As a response to the Coronavirus Pandemic, the Bridge England Network initiated a National School Survey. The purpose of this survey was to gather indicative information from schools about the potential needs and creative aspirations for their pupils from autumn 2020 onwards. The aim was to identify how Bridges and the cultural sector might best support schools moving forward. It was distributed in the last two weeks of the academic year, in a very challenging school term, to gather the most relevant information. Bridge England Network is hugely grateful to those educators who were able to find the time to respond. You will find the survey below with key findings from the 529 schools across all phases. We hope that this will provide an indication of how school leaders and teachers were thinking about the next academic year 2020/21 and help you with your planning for working with schools.

 Meadow Arts - Creative Practitioners Needed
We'd like to recruit a number of creative practitioners to join our network of freelancers who undertake work relating to the Education and Engagement Programme. We're looking for people who want to work in schools and/or colleges, community settings and have experience of running visual art workshops in person and online. We welcome applications from people who identify as being in one or more of the following groups, who we have identified as under-represented within our network:
Those who identify as black, Asian, minority ethnic or from migrant communities
Those who identify as disabled

Increasing the diversity of the artists we collaborate with will ensure that our work reflects all the groups and communities who share a passion for contemporary visual arts with us, both now and in the future.

£2 Billion Kickstart Scheme Launches to Create New Jobs for Young People
The Government's new Kickstart Scheme is a £2 billion fund designed to create high quality six-month work placements for those aged 16 to 24 who are on Universal Credit and are deemed to be at risk of long term unemployment.
Evidence shows that young people are more likely to have been furloughed, with many working in sectors disproportionately hit by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. New jobs created through this scheme should give young people the opportunity to build their skills in the workplace and gain experience to improve their chances of finding long-term work.
Employers will receive funding for 100% of the relevant National Minimum Wage for 25 hours a week, plus associated employer National Insurance contributions and employer minimum auto-enrolment pension contributions. Employers will be able to top up this wage, while the Government will also pay employers £1,500 to set up support and training for people on a Kickstart placement, as well as helping pay for uniforms and other set up costs.
The scheme is available to employers in England, Scotland and Wales that are looking to create new job placements for young people. Any organisation, regardless of size, can apply for funding. Applications must be for a minimum of 30 job placements.
Applications are open at any time. The scheme will initially be open until December 2021, with the option of being extended.

Jerwood Arts, an independent funder dedicated to supporting outstanding UK artists, curators and producers to develop and thrive.
FACT, a UK organisation based in Liverpool that exists for the support and exhibition of art and film that embraces new technology and explores digital culture.

Government Funding Support for COVID Early Language Skills Gap
Government has announced today (24 August) a funding package of up to £9 million to provide schools with training and resources to help them deliver one-to-one and small-group support for five-year-olds whose spoken language skills may have suffered as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
The programme, known as the Nuffield Early Language Intervention (NELI), is an evidence-based, 20-week intervention designed to improve the language skills of reception age pupils. Participating schools will receive resources and will be able to access online training from the start of the spring term 2021.
Every state funded school which has a Reception class will be invited to apply for this support, with priority given to schools with a high proportion of disadvantaged pupils.
The investment is part of the £350 million National Tutoring Programme which runs alongside the one-off universal £650 million catch-up premium and provides additional, targeted support for those children and young people who need the most help. Both programmes are key pillars of the wider £1 billion COVID catch-up package announced by Government in June.
Schools must register their interest in the fund by the 30 October 2020.
