Arts Award 7-11 pilot: applications now open!

Trinity College London in association with Arts Council England is aiming to launch Arts Award for 7 to 11 year olds in early 2012. Drawing on a range of research and practice, two additional levels are being designed for this younger age group. They will encourage both children and professionals to explore connections between the arts and their own world, learn new arts skills, investigate artists and arts organisations and develop their own arts practice.
 
If you work with children in this age range and would like to take part in a national pilot please complete the online application form on the Arts Award website (www.artsward.org.uk/site/?id=2166) by Thursday 7 April 2011. Arts Award is looking for a wide range of settings across the country including schools, arts organisations and non-formal education providers, who are able to deliver activity between June and October 2011.
