Took part in an interesting Open Space session in Reading last week hosted by Creative Junction and facilitated by Improbable Theatre. The question for the day was 'Creative and Connected: how do we work together for the future of creative learning?'  and I led a session about what creative learning in early years needs to look like in the future. Notes from the meeting are on the Creative Junction website here.

Also went to the Arts Award regional conference at the Turner Contemporary Gallery in Margate - very impressive! Found out lots more detail about how to run successful Arts Award projects in schools.

After nine years as an Arts Officer at WSCC, I am leaving on the 11th of the 11th 2011 to take up freelance work. Looking forward to working as an Associate of Culture Shift (www.cultureshift.org.uk) and as an Artsmark assessor for Arts Council England in the immediate future - and developing more projects for the future!
