If your school or organisation has been working on something creative that you’re proud of and want to share, let us know! Or if you would like to get involved in more arts and culture programmes get in touch! #TheCreativeConnection

The poem explores a range of emotions which came with these changing times; from fear and confusion to happiness and appreciation of the little things which have become apparent in COVID measures. ⁠⁠⁠It was a pleasure to meet the young people involved who helped on the day!

We teamed up with @festofmaking as part of ‘Of Earth and Sky’ to install poetry at @newfieldbwd in Blackburn. The poem ‘A COVID Reflection’ was created by a class of young people aged 16-19 in response to the pandemic. ⁠⁠

Moving forward we want to provide a space where we can collectively share things we are proud of and have done in our community and partnerships because... sharing is caring! So let’s get the ball rolling…
