    Situation

    Crises of 2020-21 - COVID, the impact of Black Lives Matter - have had a profound effect on young people in Birmingham, Europe’s youngest city with 30% of young people living in poverty & one of most ethnically diverse in UK. Young people’s confidence is shattered, education has suffered & belief in the possibility of positive futures shaken. Creative education is known to support these areas yet over 50% of teachers cannot find affordable, inclusive arts-based opportunities to inspire students.

    Solution

    Evidence shows that arts engagement makes a real difference to academic attainment, skills development & wellbeing. Our established, successful Hippodrome Education Network will grow to 34 primary, secondary and SEN partner schools in socio-economically deprived areas of Birmingham & the Black Country, enabling 25,000 disadvantaged & diverse young people to benefit from 125,000+ cultural engagement moments through weekly creative activities & inspiring projects led by specialist Learning Artists
