Have posted on here before and got a good response. I am looking for a vocal coach/voice tutor to come in and work with a group of year 12 students. This will be a paid position and I can offer £25 per hour for x 10 sessions. The sessions should look at vocal technique and ideally you will have a voice/vocal background.

Please get back me on jwa@glenthorne.sutton.sch.uk or phone me on 07812038150.

Thanks so much!]]> Thu, 10 Nov 2011 10:35:52 GMT http://www.educationartsservice.org.uk/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=120 I am currently looking for a basement space in London to run workshops in. I wondered whether anyone would know of a space like this for hire.

Disabled children

Life-limited children in hospices

Completed applications are first assessed by the Foundation office, with a shortlist of approximately 20 of the strongest and regionally representative applications put forward for consideration by the Grants Committee. The Grants Committee comprises independent and Hilton nominated members, and meets quarterly to discuss the applications. There is approximately £100,000 available to distribute each quarter.

Please may I take this opportunity to introduce myself, my name is Lynsey Anderton and I work as Community Co-ordinator at The Ravensbourne School, a vibrant mixed Academy within the borough of Bromley.

On Tuesday 12th July 2011 we are holding a work related learning event for our Year 12 students (aged 16-17) called ‘Get Inspired’. During the day we are inviting practitioners from the Creative and Media industry to come into school and to deliver a workshop, presentation or talk to our students, to inspire and give them a taste of a range of creative and media jobs. The workshop could be anything from following a design brief through to concept ideas, planning a creative project for the community or anything that fulfils your normal day to day activities.

By posting this message I am hoping to make new contacts who would be available to talk at our ‘Get Inspired’ event and would also be interested in working with our students on future projects.

Although funding is limited we deliver a wide range of community and curriculum based projects throughout the year using a number of external parties and we are always interested in meeting new contacts with fresh ideas.

If you are available on Tuesday 12th July and would be interested in meeting our students please drop me an email or call me on the number below.

Thank you for your time

The aim of these partnerships is to bring an international dimension to young people’s learning, to improve their knowledge and understanding of other cultures and prepare them for life and work as global citizens. Partnerships last for three years, initially, and participating schools are eligible for funding to support activities and projects that sustain the link during this period. The level of funding available depends upon the countries involved in the partnership. The British Council will provide further information in the summer term about the partner countries available and the application process.

Last year the participating regions included sub-Saharan Africa, North Africa, Central and South Asia, East Asia, Middle East, China and Latin America.

Since 2000, the Clore Duffield Foundation has given over £23.6million to fund museum, gallery and heritage learning spaces. It has also matched lottery funding, supported capital redevelopments and provided project, programme and revenue funding for the cultural sector, in particular for cultural learning.

If you too would like to potentially benefit from the Clore Duffield Foundation’s generosity, submit an application! There are no deadlines, but Trustees meetings to discuss proposals are usually held in June and September so get your application in soon to be considered this June.

This is a great opportunity for small groups to get funding as the Trustees don’t fund charities whose annual turnover exceeds £100,000. Preference is given to:

• small local playschemes that provide a wide-ranging programme of activities
• schemes that involve a large number of children
• schemes catering for those from disadvantaged backgrounds or that have a disability
• schemes that are inclusive such as projects that work with children from a range of backgrounds, abilities and race
• schemes where past users are encouraged to come back and help as volunteers

The deadline is 1 April so you still have a couple of weeks left to apply.

The ‘summary of your work’ and ‘detailed summary’ sections are really important in attracting educators. Use keywords, such as artforms or audiences that you work with that educators may use in the search engine, to provide a greater match and more visibility in searches.

Encourage teachers you have worked with to sign up and provide reviews of your work to add weight and credence to your profile.

Utilise the LONSAS website to increase your visibility – submit news or events items which will feature on the website and in our newsletter which is emailed to hundreds of educators.

Update your profile regularly and ensure that your two ‘Recent Projects’ feature work that you delivered recently, so educators know you are currently working.


Do you have any other tips for practitioners? How has LONSAS supported or assisted you or your organisation to find work?]]> Fri, 11 Mar 2011 16:30:43 GMT
