🎨 The arts are key to building more equitable classrooms. The Teacher Development Fund (TDF) empowers teachers to create more inclusive, creative learning environments. Through the fund, primary schools and arts organisations team up to explore how creative teaching approaches can engage children and help them overcome barriers to learning in a joyful, impactful way. In this film, hear directly from headteachers and members of the TDF advisory group. The Chair of the TDF advisory group, Teresa Cremin, captures the essence of the programme: "As educators, we want to make a difference to children's life chances." It’s wonderful to see how this work is transforming the professional learning of teachers and creating new pathways for children to thrive. 📽️ Watch the film: https://lnkd.in/eD7yPsbK 💡 Learn about the fund: https://lnkd.in/eKjSq__5 #ArtsInEducation #TeacherDevelopment #EducationalEquity #CreativeLearning #ArtsAndEducation #EquityInSchools #ProfessionalLearning #LearningThroughTheArts #LeadershipInEducation

We know how tough an environment charities like YoungMinds are operating in and the hard decisions that come with that. We're proud to be one of their funders as they continue to put young people first ❤️
We want to update you on us. It’s been an important year for us. Like lots of charities we have been looking at how we can adapt and make sure we are set up in the best possible way to continue with the vital services and support that young people need, now and in the future. One of the outcomes of this work has been taking the difficult decision to reduce the size of our organisation. No matter what, we’ll support young people and families through our Parents Helpline and online information and advice. We will also make sure young people’s voices are at the heart of influencing change in the systems and services that should be there to help them. We want to reassure any young person, parent or carer who follows us that we’re here for you whenever you need us. We want to say thank you to all those brilliant colleagues who are sadly leaving YoungMinds. We know they will go on to new and exciting futures. We also want to say thank you to our partners and supporters. Without you, our work would be impossible. More than ever, we’re fighting for a world where no young person feels alone with their mental health.

🌍 📚 Happy World Book Day! This year’s theme is Read Your Way. Read Your Way empowers children and young people to have fun discovering reading on their own terms.✨ Our founder Paul Hamlyn was a publisher and entrepreneur. He believed that quality books should be for everyone to enjoy. Paul started out selling books from a London market stall. From these beginnings, his publishing business grew. Paul was guided by a commitment to social justice, challenging prejudice and opening up arts and education to everyone, but particularly young people. This ethos shaped much of the work of the Foundation and still runs through our work to this day. Today, we continue to support a variety of programmes across the sectors we work in that embrace the power of reading and storytelling – here are just a few. 🔹CLPE (Centre for Literacy in Primary Education) 🔹Glasgow Women's Library 🔹Discover Children's Story Centre 🔹Grimm & Co 🔹MakeBelieve Arts 🔹The Story Exchange 🔹COMICS YOUTH COMMUNITY INTEREST COMPANY Illustration credit: Isabel Gunputhram.

Our friends at Maslaha seek to change and challenge the conditions that create inequalities for Muslim communities. To address the challenges young people face, we need to tackle the root causes of injustice and structural inequity. Maslaha recently gave evidence to the Women and Equalities Committee on gendered Islamophobia, which was set up to understand the specific challenges facing Muslim women in the UK today. They outlined some of the innovative programmes and services they provide and discussed the impact of structural issues, like the adultification of Muslim young people. You can watch an excerpt below.👇
What is gendered Islamophobia? My colleague Allia and I were asked this question at a one-off evidence session for the Women and Equalities Select Committee at the start of the year. We shared a response from young Muslim people who said: “I’m perceived as a threat” “I’m perceived as oppressed” Following the session, the Select Committee has now launched a formal inquiry into gendered Islamophobia. We spoke about the challenges faced by young people and the need to not just focus on inter-personal violence but also structural issues. How does media coverage, policies like Prevent, and political rhetoric create a context where young people are censoring themselves or not able to fulfill their potential, or face institutional racism. We also spoke about what Stuart Hall called a conjectural analysis of the current moment. What are the different historical currents that are creating this moment, such as the racist riots of last summer and the ongoing consequences of the so-called War on Terror. But we also spoke about solutions such as our project Muslim Girls Fence and the work that our partners are engaged in. They include: · Safe spaces for young people to take part in physical and creative activities · Critical learning which understands an anti-racist approach to education · Tailored mental health provision that understand the different identities and experiences young people hold The session can be viewed here: https://lnkd.in/eu6uCyb3
