I’m delighted to bring you the news that the Destinies project has notched up a second award, this time in the Derby Mainframe Creativity for Good awards.?It’s another, greatly deserved accolade for this remarkable group of young people and diverse artistic team and demonstrates the high quality work that co-creation can achieve.?
Co-creation is at the heart of two other features this month.?Our workshops for IVE will lift the lid on the rationale behind co-creation and help teachers and creative practitioners develop their ideas, particularly around incorporating youth voice. And find out what the process is like from a musician’s perspective, in Katherine Spencer's blog on the City of London Sinfonia’s new co-created performance, The Maple Tree.
