EU calls on the arts to empower and integrate refugees
|
| |
|
| |
|
Cultural institutions across Europe should create new museums and exhibitions dedicated to migration, as arts and culture are “uniquely placed” to empower refugees, a major new European Union (EU) report has concluded.
It also advises policy makers to prioritise funding for arts projects that integrate migrants, and cultural bodies to make their recruitment practices more open to people from different backgrounds.
“Culture is an opportunity to create links, to bring newcomers together with native populations and longer-term migrants from different backgrounds,” the report, which is dedicated to murdered MP Jo Cox, says.

|
| |
|
| |
|
A healthcare provider in Cheshire has committed to prescribing reading, dancing and other forms of cultural engagement to people in the local area. NHS Halton Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), responsible for planning NHS services for more than 125,000 people, says its “more than medicine” approach will promote individual and community wellbeing in ways that other methods cannot.
“By working collaboratively with experts across culture, the environment and sports sector, and harnessing social value agendas, we will drive forward a 21st century approach to healthcare in Halton which others could follow,” the CCG says in a new manifesto.

Youth select committee announces body image inquiry
|
| |
|
| |
|
An inquiry is to be launched by the youth select committee into the effect of body image issues on young people.
The committee, which is run by the British Youth Council will consider issues such as whether social media use encourages young people to have a negative image of their body.
It will also look into whether internet and social media companies can do more to tackle online trends that can entrench poor body images among young people.
Another area being explored is potential links between young people's dissatisfaction with their body image and mental health.

Care leaver university scholarship scheme opens
|
| |
|
| |
|
Care leavers will be able to benefit from three years of free accommodation as part of an initiative designed to help support them through university.
The scheme, run by the Unite Foundation, is available to under-25s who are care leavers, or estranged from their family, and have a place at one of 28 participating universities. A total of 70 places are on offer for the 2017/18 academic year.
"Too few young people estranged from their families or leaving care realise their full potential at university," Unite Foundation manager Helen Arber said.
"We want to change that. A Unite Foundation scholarship means a rent-free university home for three years of degree studies."

British Youth Council rejects Government response on votes at 16
|
| |
|
| |
|
"In response to a petition calling for the voting age to be lowered, the Government states ‘the House of Commons has debated the question of lowering the voting age in a number of contexts, and has repeatedly voted against lowering it.’
Regrettably, 16 and 17-year-olds will not just miss out on the snap election, but will also miss out on the May elections which will see the election of six newly-created combined authority mayors."

Ambition Apprentice Christian shares his experiences so far
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
"I, like many young people, attended university for a couple of years and decided to withdraw from my studies in May 2016 because I was not performing well in exams, which have never been my cup of tea. After a short rollercoaster ride to where I am today, including being diagnosed with a mental illness, I decided to consider an apprenticeship and given the fact that the secondary school I attended was very university driven, I didn’t have much of an idea where to start."

Call for next government to make careers education statutory
|
| |
|
| |
|
A manifesto published by the Career Development Institute (CDI) calls for the Education Act 2011 to be partially repealed, as this removed careers education from the school curriculum and instead placed a duty on schools only to provide careers guidance.
It also wants the duty to be extended from age 11 to 18, as previously the duty only applied to students from 11 to 16.
Concerns about the availability and quality of careers advice have been consistently raised in recent years.
