Yesterday i was invited down to the BRIT School for a meeting to discuss a oroject opportunity. Term 5 at the BRIT is called the 'community' term, where groups from across the school; music, theatre. musical theatre, dance, art, media and production are merged together and sent out into a chosen community.
When i attended the school i took part in a project involving patients from St Christopher's Hospice- a project which changed me as a person and will stay with me forever.
So of course i was extacted to be asked back to the school to be involved as a profeesional within my field!
the project, as i understand it so far, will consist of 8 sessions run over four weeks working with students from dance, theatre and music strands as well as 10 members from the southside partnership- supporting people with mental health problems:

the idea is to conduct a series of workshops to generate ideas and material to create a short piece relfective of all participants involved.
it goes wthout saying that i am SO EXCITED. it was strange sitting in the meeting and having people who used to teach me asking me for advice!
i have also been asked to run an 'inclusive skills' workshops for 70 students before the project begins to help equipp them for the project ahead.
as well as the project in june there was also mention of doing reaserch for the school in september; looking into inclusion with education at BTEC LEVEL, something which i am already exploring within my professional inquiry plan.
fingers crossed it all goes to plan!
