A pragmatic, punchy, imaginative national programme - great work from Heatherwick studio. How many times in adult, working life do we hear colleagues and partners say “I’m not creative”? But maybe they were “not bad at art/English at school”. Helping young people to see themselves as creative could change our world - see blog by Matt Bell and link to a toolkit ready to use. #InTheMaking

This week sees the public launch of In The Making. It's a national programme designed to help young people see themselves as creative. Creative education has a huge impact on academic performance, school attendance, and mental health. And yet we've lost 15,000 teachers of creative subjects from English schools in the last 13 years. The Government's talking about fixing the foundations. Well this is one of those foundations! I've tried to explain why it matters and how we can all be part of the fight back in this blog. There's also a new film, a practice guide, and an evidence review on the Heatherwick website. Enjoy & share. So many of the best things we do now began with a moment when we first thought... maybe I'm a bit creative. https://lnkd.in/eFNr4yCU

1moVery pleased you like it, Anita. Anyone who can share this with other architecture practices, please do! The idea is to help all 6,000 architecture studios in England work with 1 class of school children each term. 6000 x 30 x 3 = 540,000 young people getting access to creative education.
