Through this offer we aim to ensure that teachers and learners in Wales will have the opportunity to:
Background Cynefin: Black, Asian and minority ethnic Wales draws upon the strengths of the Lead Creative Schools Scheme that has helped schools explore new ideas and approaches to teaching and learning over the last 5 years. At the heart of the scheme is co-construction, co-delivery, pupil voice and pupil decision making. It is an enquiry-based approach that uses arts interventions and creative pedagogy to explore themes, issues, and challenges across all areas of learning. What will the offer entail

The designated teacher will attend a one-day training course online delivered by the Arts Council of Wales and will gain opportunities to collaborate with other schools across Wales to form a learning network. Eligibility The scheme is open to all local authority maintained and voluntary-aided primary and secondary schools, including special schools and specialist teaching facilities.
