Earlyarts (www.earlyarts.co.uk) is a network that supports
professionals working creatively with young children and families.
Earlyarts is run by Isaacs UK, a social enterprise, supporting
organisations in building creative learning environments
(www.isaacsuk.co.uk).
Isaacs UK has received a small award from
the Paul Hamlyn Foundation to conduct a piece of research with the
early years, arts and cultural sectors. We would like to find out more
about what you do, and what are your opportunities, challenges and
visions for the future.
We
are interested in hearing from any organisation working with early
years and creativity on any scale, however large or small a part of
your remit that may be.
Our aim is to facilitate the development
of a knowledge-sharing network of partners, organisations and agencies
across the UK to share their work on the important role of creative
practice in children’s learning and development. We hope this shared
knowledge will help us to complement one another, to strengthen our
individual voices, to enhance our practice and to maximise our
resources.
Our survey will take you between 15 and 30 minutes to
complete. The information you provide will remain confidential, and all
your views and ideas will be treated with great respect. We will ask
your permission to publish any quotes and you can remain anonymous if
you would prefer.
Please
click here to complete our online questionnaire, the deadline for which is Friday, 19
th
September 2008.

As we are hoping to cover as wide a spread of creative early
years practice, policy, research and training as possible, we would be very
grateful if you would forward this email to any colleagues that you think would
be interested in contributing their ideas, or any networks you belong to. If
you have received this more than once, we apologise for cross-posting but, in
this case, its important to have more rather than less.
Thanks for your time,
Sally
