WP 1 - Schools' Involvement

Objectives of activities carried out:

Selection of UK schools to participate in the Michelangelo project

Time period:

January 2008 - October 2008

Description of activities carried out:

Visits to schools

Meetings of Art Teachers about the Michelangelo project

Outcomes:

The following schools have agreed to participate in the project.

Southfield Technology College, Workington
Trinity School, Carlisle
Queen Elizabeth School, Kirkby Lonsdale

Evaluation of the work undertaken:

It has been problematical to enlist a fifth school, though substantial time and energy have been expended by the project team on this. We have finally agreed to use trainee art teachers on placement in a variety of schools throughout the north-west of England to redplace a single school. This will give enhanced results for the project and will, in the end, effectively include 20+ schools.
