Blog: delivering Gold Arts Award during lockdown
By Hannah Scully, Teacher of Visual Arts, Durham Sixth Form Centre
At DSFC we are fortunate to have a variety of cultural partners that we regularly work with and the students have all sorts of creative opportunities available in the North East. This work is an integral part of our Arts Award delivery and many students get involved in extra activities, so it is an added bonus for them to be able to gain an extra qualification. Arts Award also pushes students to experience opportunities that they may not have had the chance to experience otherwise.

Keeping North East families connected with culture in a crisis
By Sallyanne Flemons, Project Manager, Family Explorers North East
Bearing the subtitle ‘Day out reviews and recommendations’ one might expect a crisis closing all our cultural venues to signal the demise of the Family Explorers North East Facebook Group. But a new partnership with Culture Bridge North East (CBNE) helped the project to stay relevant, useful and connected with the rich content our region’s cultural organisation excel at providing.
