Guaranteed Quality! ]]> At the end of last year we at Germination were asked to put together a website for the – a campaign that was to be time tied (1 year) and specific in its aim to unite different interests in ensuring that creative and cultural activities continued to be used to educate our children. This was the result.

The campaign has since grown with over 1,500 people signed up and partners right across the cultural and education sectors – from big name cultural institutions like the , the and to the many, many schools in support. As parents around the country prepare their kids for the new school year, and we all get that post-summer-back-to-school feeling, the issue of what and how we want our kids to be taught comes into sharp focus. by shows that (see her statement in support of the campaign ) while another from . Now is the time to be pushing the issue up the agenda ahead of the . There are many as to why culture in education is really important – attainment levels, training for creative industries jobs and to name just three – and they need to be made forcefully so that the good work happening in schools around the country can be maintained despite the cuts.

It’s not just government that needs to be convinced however, and its not only about money. Through the campaign we’re aiming to mobilise professionals in cultural institutions, teachers who and parents to articulate why children learning through culture is vital to education, and how new local networks can be formed to support practice.

Tomorrow we push forward with the campaigns’ social media strategy – a growing , the requisite and activity and a number of blogs that will mount in content and regularity as we move towards the CSR. Post the spending settlement, we’ll then bring cultural professionals, teachers and parents together in a week long of activities under the to a manifesto for the future of ensuring children and young people learn through their links with the visual and performing arts, film making, trips to museums, music and so on. This is not a middle class campaign, but absolutely about ensuring all children get access to these activities that enrich and inform us. The will unite people with an interest in protecting cultural learning in our schools and set up local networks which will continue well after the event, and we’re proud that our work on the campaign will lead to a longer lasting legacy than simply communications fizz. The website will evolve into a dynamic site containing research and evidence about why cultural learning works, submitted by practitioners, that will live on after the campaign.

This is one of our biggest communications campaigns to date and we’re very proud to be involved. For more info and to . And join us for the in November.

The films include a mixture of anticipation and concern, with fears that the young people who need it most will be the ones who fail to benefit from the regeneration plans.

See one of the films – or check out our vimeo archive.

We’re inspired by the ideas young people have about what they can do for themselves, as well as the excitement of what’s possible when the Olympics comes to town. We’re planning a 4 year project where through film, young people inspire each other to perform random acts of kindness and make Newham a place you really want to come to during the Olympics, to see what’s going on. We and they are inspired with things like .

Clear Village is a group of people, organised through a Foundation plus a loose network of designers, architects and others across the world with the aim to create the first fully sustainable village in the world. It’s a huge challenge, not least in terms of how do you design it, but also the task of defining what is fully sustainable, asking whether its really the first, who else is doing it and such.

The next stage of the project is to bring 100 people together over 3 days at an event at the in Barcelona in November to design a masterplan for a fully sustainable village. What’s interesting to us this week is how you design an event like this when the core team is distributed across the world! So far it hasn’t gone very well. Collaboration is really difficult when contending with different time zones and the limitations of conversation by e-mail. And in any case, a collective creative process is hard. So it was with some trepidation that we approached the task of helping design a very big picture event with a group of people we didn’t know. In the end, with good questions and some very generous sharing, we got to grips with the idea and design the outline of a full three days. How? Well, apart from the talents and experience of the people in the room, a real commitment to leave egos at the door and build ideas through collective intelligence. This is how collaboration works best, and exciting when it works because it’s hard to get conditions and mindsets right. And very exciting when it does – it’s going to be a brilliant event.
