Creative Scotland is delighted to partner with Arts in Education Recovery Group on our 2021 series of events.
We have heard about Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), but how can the arts contribute to Positive Childhood Experiences and build resilience? This event is for anyone from the arts, early years, education, health, social work, youth work, community development and other sectors with an interest in how the arts can benefit children and young people. The event will share case studies and approaches and create space for discussion with other participants.
YDance and Starcatchers will introduce and reflect on research about Positive Childhood Experiences. North Ayrshire Music Service will discuss how teachers upskilled to deliver music activities to young people during lockdown, and their ideas for carrying forward music making, and the Edinburgh Hospitals Charity will share innovative arts projects connected to the Royal Hospital for Sick Children, including how re-imagining a hospital as a spaceship gives children a new outlook.
