rtkids.org - A National Online Gallery of Children's artwork
Opening school Art Departments and sharing children's achievements with their friends, family and the wider academic community is really the essence of the rtkids.org project.
My own school's mission statement: 'Learning Together for Success' seems very fitting, as pupils using the site respond positively to other pupils work, often with a deep amount of respect for their peers' endeavours. I believe it can enrich a child's experience in so many ways, providing a greater sense of how their own abilities compare to children of similar and indeed older ages. Alongside stimulating their imagination I think it will also encourage them to explore the nation's and other countries' Art treasures online.
The project is entirely free to join, please give it a go and monitor your pupil's response to it. If you decide to take part, I would be fascinated to discover your experience and how it impacts on your pupils' learning.

Turning the Tables
Turning The Tables A two-day conference exploring the progression and future of community and participatory arts in the UK
The conference will take place at the Assembly Rooms in Derby and at venues around the East Midlands on the 18th and 19th September 2008. It is a collaborative initiative between mailout and the East Midlands Participatory Arts Forum (EMPAF).
The conference will explore what we currently need and what issues affect us as a sector. It will explore the pressures that we are under and the possibilities which are on offer. We will look at how we can work together to re-establish that sense of connection we had as a creative led sector and the distinctiveness we once enjoyed as a movement dedicated to social change.
It will provide an opportunity for practitioners and supporters at different levels to share perspectives on the work, develop more effective information exchange and to re-kindle the enthusiasm and sense of purpose, the fire behind the work.
This conference is an opportunity to begin raising the profile of the work from the basis of its intrinsic values and to create a new identity for the independent sector. We plan to use this opportunity to bring together practitioners and their allies to renew a common cause and provide the focal point for a stronger and more coherent voice for our work.
One of the aims of this conference is to begin a more focused debate to define the future as we would like to see it and provide the ammunition for us to put our case to significant funding and decision making bodies. Discussions throughout the event will focus on how we articulate this with the rate of change we are currently experiencing.
Day 1 of the conference will include visits to different community/participatory arts organisations in the region to look at some of their work and the context in which they operate, alongside practical presentations. The visits will also include targeted themes for discussion to get the second day of the conference off to an energised start.
Day 2 will include key-note speakers, practical break-out sessions, a panel discussion and opportunities for debate, discussion and networking.
Fees: Public sector: £235 Arts Council regularly funded organisations: £180 Non-funded organisations: £140 Individuals: £ 40
