This is a group for anyone working with young people; a platform for you to share your ideas, activities and lesson plans created by you; if you happen to use NTW shows as your initial stimulus, then even better! We are looking for fresh, innovative ideas with creativity at its heart, no matter what the subject area. If you have any exemplar work of which you are particularly proud, any videos or audio of your pupils engaged in exciting creative activities then please include it here also. We look forward to hearing your amazing ideas!

There are so many ways that young people can get involved with City of the Unexpected over the coming months - please have a look at the link below and forward to anyone you think may be interested - it's going to be amazing!
Thanks Naomi, sounds really interesting. Did you see the launch of the new ACW 'Experiencing the Arts Fund' yesterday? May be of interest to your network.
Experiencing the Arts is a two-strand scheme that we believe will make a big impact on the learning experiences of our young people, wherever they live in Wales.

f you are free, please come along to Cardiff Bay this Saturday where we will, as part of the amazing BDP Senedd event, be showing a short film about young people's educational experiences and furthering our Rethinking Education discussion. We have interviewed pupils from Ocean Park Academy in Splott, Bryn Hafren School in Barry, Mount Stuart Square Primary in Cardiff Bay, Bridgend Home Education Network in Tondu, Castle School in Pembrokeshire, Penrhos Centre in Colwyn Bay and Mess up the Mess Theatre Company in Ammanford. They have each answered questions about what matters most to them when it comes to their education and about what they believe NTW could do for them. It makes interesting viewing and will help to add to our discussion. It's quite startling to see how many of them feel that levels and grades are the most important thing about education...
We are so grateful to each of the enthusiastic and engaging participants and to all of their schools, learning centres and parents for their support. The film will be shown in the Pier Head building at 4pm on Saturday and will later be made available online.
I am currently reading a brilliant book by Michael Rosen called "How to be your child's (and your own) best teacher" - a must read for any teacher, parent, human being...
This is certainly worth watching!

Hi all,Please take a look at these fantastic resources - thanks to Rhiannon for sharing:NEW THEATRE ON IPLAYER FOR SCHOOLS AND COLLEGESTwo outstanding new plays made by and for young people are available to view on BBC iPlayer as part of Live from Television Centre.Both plays are theatrical, bold explorations of what it means to be a teenager in 2015 - and can be seen for FREE for a limited time only.

Hi all, thank you for joining - please don't forget to use this space as a platform for any creative ideas you have for working with young people - any resources you have created or currently use or any projects you have in mind for the future. This is a space to share ideas and for any teachers who are currently unsure about how to include 'creativity' in their lessons to ask advice of artists and arts practitioners. Diolch!
