LIVE STREAMED FROM LIVERPOOL
JWe were delighted to collaborate with the communities of five schools in Liverpool to celebrate their creativity with an evening of highlights from our week in the city to help launch the national #SaveOurSubjects campaign.
Live streamed from Our See Monster, a 100m tall cardboard structure.
Do like, comment and share these social links in advance, let’s break the internet:

THE #SAVEOURSUBJECTS LAUNCH WEEK
This came up at very short notice and flew North in #StarShip22 to a birthplace of Creativity - certainly of world famous artists like The Beatles and academics like Sir Ken Robinson and generations before and hopefully still to come.
We say ‘hopefully’ because many feel we face a Creativity Crisis in our schools, for many reasons.
If you want to know why art IS important in our Schools, Work and Lives, check out Michael Rosen’s recent speech on it here.
WHO CARES?
We’ve seen research that lots of people care, especially parents and creative carers - people who care about creativity, children and all our futures and we’re getting together with a few of them for a massive campaign to send a message to the government.
We can’t say too much til Monday, so sign up now and join us then.
