Our first of three sessions for cultural organisations looked at the current policies and trends affecting creative learning and cultural education.

There are a wealth of cultural and creative activities on offer to young people across London, and we want to ensure that more children and young people can have the work they do recognised through Arts Award – a national qualification in the arts.

We know that young Londoners are interested in Arts Award and want to do it – and we know that the Arts Award offer across London is not evenly spread...

The latest figures from the Department for Education show that the number of children in care has risen for the seventh year running, and is at it’s highest since 1985. But what role should arts organisations play in working with young people in care?

In 2014 / 2015 A New Direction worked with a number of centres in London to support the delivery of Arts Award in two pilot programmes.

We are very excited about the amazing line-up of speakers that will be joining us next Tuesday to discuss equity of access for disadvantaged and vulnerable young people.

A New Direction supports the Great British Carnival to embed Arts Award.

Find out more about the number of ways you can get inspired with Arts Award at the Carnival.

Join us next month for a session that aims to explore how arts organisations can develop a Supporter offer and use it to increase both participation and audiences.
