Anna will be tweeting updates on her research into arts-based learning, as well as highlighting relevant articles which come her way.
With the purpose of building a network of like-minded people, Anna's first tweet was a re-tweet from Sir Ken Robinson. He drew attention to a 2008 study by Root-Bernstein which concluded that 'hobbling the arts, hobbles innovation' a strategy which stifles industry and calls into question the wisdom of cutting arts funding and degrading the status of the arts in education.

| News: Alastair Creamer lecture at King's College London |
Billed as: 'Arts-based Learning - businesses use it, they just don't know it', this was a fascinating talk. Alastair Creamer was generous in sharing so many of his personal experiences and held court for nearly two hours with an infectiously inspirational style.
Anna was delighted to meet both Alastair and Dr Nick Wilson who launched 'nABLE' the Network of Arts-Based Learning and Education and who proves to be every bit as excited about arts-based learning as Alastair.
A very impressive duo. |
