Event Information
Description
Please note: Artsmark Connects events are open to all teachers, including those not currently registered for Artsmark. Cultural sector organisations are also welcome to book.
Artsmark Connects
Join us at London Transport Museum for an evening of networking and exploration. We’re reflecting on the importance of embedding student voice within schools – the advantages, practicalities and challenges of doing this. Find out more about how London Transport Museum is working with teachers, taking inspiration from their collection, to promote investigation and innovation and to support classroom learning.
Artsmark Connect events provide the following opportunities:
-
Presentations: meet Hannah Peaty of Soho Parish Primary school and find out about their Artsmark journey journey that led to the formation of a student council to promote student voice within the school
-
Celebrate: congratulate those schools that have recently been awarded Artsmark
-
Discover: hear how museum partnerships can support you on your Artsmark journey and discover different ways to promote pupil led investigation
-
Network: a chance for teachers and the cultural sector to network and share ideas/practice
The first 25 teachers to book will also get free access to our Museum Late event Night on the Tiles where you can party like it’s 1999 and you’re dancing in a disused Underground station. Explore London’s rich nightlife history through the ages, from Victorian music halls and night clubs, to subcultures which have influenced London and the world. Visit our immersive exhibition Hidden London, giving you a taste of what lies beneath the streets, in the secret and abandoned tunnels and stations of London. Glam up and accessorize in our creative workshops and dance to our resident DJ’s London party tunes.
Teachers, senior leaders and governors are welcome to attend, as are members of the cultural sector. Places are limited, book now!

A New Direction is a London-based non-profit generating opportunities for children and young people to unlock their creativity.
Why does A New Direction exist?
London is one of the greatest creative hubs in the world. Every day, thousands of the children and young people who live here are inspired by the city’s culture to unleash their own creative side. They have the chance to develop their skills, talents and passions, becoming people who can thrive in a challenging, changing world and boost our wider society.
But there are also thousands of young people who miss out on London’s creative opportunities. Barriers of inequality or simple lack of support stop young people from reaching their creative potential, which has knock-on effects for their chances of personal fulfilment and success in later life.
What is the vision of A New Direction?
Inequality is not set in stone; we can make London into a city with equal opportunities to engage with culture and be creative for all young people and children. This is our vision.
We are working towards a society where all children and young people can thrive through developing their creativity.
What does A New Direction do?
We work directly with the organisations at the front line: schools, cultural venues, local authorities and businesses. We unite those organisations to campaign for better policies that serve children and young people. We organise joint events and projects to reach a broader audience. We connect young people to mentors, work experience and inspiration.
Who does A New Direction help?
Children and young people in London and through helping them, wider society.
