Working with our friends at No Class Creations and Let's Animate, the CCEP has now produced a new film aimed at current and future Cultural Champions, as well as CCEP's other partners, funders and stakeholders.

You can see the film here on the Coventry City Council YouTube channel, and we'll be sharing it widely on other platforms, including CCEP socials.

Please feel free to use the film for staff meetings and CPD events, or just to find out more about our work over the last few years - particularly our Partnership Investment (PI) programme - and our exciting plans for the next few years.

The CCEP would like to thank all of the Cultural Champions, Steering Group members and other partners who took part in the film and of course our PI funders, Arts Connect and Coventry City Council.

If you'd like to see more in-depth films about our brilliant partnership working with Royal Opera House - which won a Gold award in last year's Pearson Teaching Awards - you can watch the ROH films that focus on our 'Romeo and Juliet' CPD programme and 'The Nutcracker' culmination event at Coventry Cathedral that featured hundreds of Coventry primary school students, teachers and families.

'100 Brilliant Ideas' to Spark Creativity is a free CCEP resource to inspire young people’s creativity.  It is a quick to use and easy to understand approach to prompt young people to access and use their natural creativity.  The ideas collected  were devised by artists, teachers and education  professionals, arts, cultural and heritage organisations and individuals with a commitment to developing creativity in young people. 

The majority of the ideas are designed to allow a quick response without having to rely on a large number of resources, others might need some preparation and may even inspire a trip to a local arts, cultural or heritage venue. We have also included a directory of organisations and individuals you may want to connect with to take your ideas further. 

We hope you find the 100 Brilliant Ideas a useful resource and importantly enjoy them, have fun with your young people and embrace the joy that creativity always brings!

The Arts Connect website includes some useful resources for teachers and practitioners to help plan cultural activity for children and young people:

The Arts Connect Cultural Directory is a searchable database of organisations and artists to work with in your school or setting based on their art form, age group and proximity to your location. You can also view which organisations are Artsmark Partners, and Arts Award Centres and Supporters.

Curated digital resources for educationalists, parents and all those involved in arts and creativity both at home and at school are also available. 

 

Several of CCEP's partners and members have online resources available free for you to use as inspiration and planning. Resources include:

Online exhibitions from the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum and the Coventry Atlas

Thousands of free historical clips from British Pathe - and much more - via Coventry Libraries

Green Futures YouTube video resources from the City of Culture Trust
