We know there’s more work out there and we’d love to hear from you. We especially want to hear from teachers and schools.
We think there’s potential for some more joined-up conversations, some more partnership projects, some sharing of good practice, maybe a joint funding bid (we felt a little more sure of that pre-Covid!). There was particular interest in these two suggested ideas/themes:
- Could a network of schools and arts organisations pilot a new initiative to test out what a ‘creative school of sanctuary’ looks like?
- How can we use art and culture in schools to help refugee children reclaim their stories from the authorities that have demanded they share them so frequently?
Covid has stalled us, of course, and it’s a hard time to move things forward. But we want to.
So we’re inviting you to meet (digitally) and talk with us in September as part of the Journeys International Festival. Share your work or interest in this theme with us and let’s see what we can make possible.
Journeys Festival International will take place from 28 September – 18 October. Head to
