I 've had a few days off - but I've been busy today!
The new Arts Award was launched in West Berkshire this afternoon at the Corn Exchange. West Berkshire Council Arts Co-ordinator Angela Turton put on a show for several hundred arts people to explain the possibilities of the new award, and persuade them to get involved as mentors for 11-25 year olds.
This is a new national award scheme, along similar lines to the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme, but catering for all abilities. We saw demonstrations of singing, drumming (Welford and Wickham primary school - excellent!), dancing and video editing amongst others. This could be a fantastic opportunity for young people - I hope it is taken up by many.
