Over this last year we have continued working closely with schools and early years settings to develop and integrate a creative and reflective pedagogy with research at the heart of the process. Our research in partnership with schools, educators, artists, creative professionals, mentors and cultural centres aims to raise the aspirations and improve the life chances of children and young people as creative learners. Each research triangle involves activity over a sustained period of time allowing the participants (children and young people, educators, artists and mentors) to explore diverse lines of enquiry in pursuit of creative values, dispositions, environments and relationships. Research with schools and settings continues with integrated professional learning for educators and creative professionals.
