SCHOOL OF DOC – LEARNING THROUGH THE LENS

Fiona Adams

This Year Shoot It For Yourself Productions is focussing on how young people in the South East can actively engage with their learning through the film making process.  Subjects from evolution to contemporary art are being explored by the youngest talent in town.  With current school budgets so tight we need to look for partners beyond the classroom and we will be discussing future options on how we can make this happen.

  A wide range of young people, ages 8 – 18, from schools including Balfour Primary, Whitehawk and Varndene College will be invited to present, discuss and screen their latest work.  Opportunities with the new Junior Arts Award and First Light in the Classroom will be presented along with the brand new Shoot it For Yourself collaboration with the Saatchi Gallery – exciting stuff for all those young at heart.

The event takes place on:
Saturday 24th March

Thanks

Me n t o r i n g Yo u n g Pe o p l e

Would you like to help a young person facing

difficulties at school? This is an exciting

opportunity to become a volunteer mentor – full

training and support will be given.

Course tutor: Janet Farr 01273 422632

Aim of the programme

To train volunteer mentors so that they are ready to

support a student on a one-to-one basis who is

experiencing social difficulties at school.

What is a mentor?

A mentor is someone who is able to give support

and a regular time commitment to help a young

person to develop their confidence, self-esteem and

social skills so that they feel more integrated in the

social life of the school.

Who can become a mentor?

Anyone aged 16+ years. You may already be

involved with young people eg as a Youth Work

volunteer or you may have other useful or relevant

life experience. You may have experienced

difficulties yourself at school and be ready to support

someone else with similar problems. An enhanced

CRB check will be required which we can organise.

Mentoring - the benefits

For you, the benefits could include:

• Developing your skills

• Providing useful experience for a career in

social, probation or youth work, teaching or

classroom support

• The satisfaction of providing valuable support

to a young person at risk of isolation or

underachievement.

When/where?

The training will be held on Fridays 0930-1300 for 8

weeks from 27 April 2012 at the 6th Form Centre

Schools to Business Bridge the Gap - offer.pdf Download this file

School to Business: Bridge the Gap

Culture Shift, the new social enterprise that has grown out of Creative Partnerships in Sussex and Surrey, is proposing to adapt their creative partnership model to support school and business partnerships.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR 2 BUSINESSES IN BRIGHTON WHO WOULD BE INTERESTED IN COLLABORATING WITH THEIR LOCAL SECONDARY SCHOOL IN THIS FUNDED INITIATIVE.

Participating businesses are invited to identify a need or an issue for which they need a creative solution.  Examples might include; developing a new marketing strategy, setting up a promotional event, developing your company web presence or connecting with younger markets via social networking.

Culture Shift and Eastbourne Education Business Partnership will match the business with a school and a creative professional to work together on their brief.  Together they will find creative solutions to the business problem.

The benefits work both ways; young people and teachers get to work on a real live work-related challenge, businesses benefit directly from working with young people with fresh ideas and, of course, the input of the creative professional.  Both schools and businesses benefit from the profile attached to their work together and the opportunity to learn more about each other.
