Creative Facilitator and Content Creator needed for CYP Voice project
Curious Minds is looking to commission an experienced and enthusiastic Cultural Educator to work on its City as Arts School project in Manchester, which will advocate for effective inclusion of Children and Young People's Voice (CYP Voice) within schools' arts and cultural provision and planning.
We need someone who can work with both education settings and children and young people to discuss and explore how they could be more effectively involved in decision-making around cultural education within schools, particularly within the Artsmark journey. You will then work to turn the intelligence you've gathered - alongside existing knowledge and learning from other Curious Minds programmes - into a toolkit that can be utilised by schools to enhance their approach to CYP voice.
We anticipate that this role will involve the equivalent approximately 16 days' work, between April and July 2022. The total Commission Fee available is £3,600 (plus up to £100 travel expenses).
