Event details
Ronda Gowland-Pryde "Leaping Forward: from names and tags to young artists"
Presenting her paper on the social impact that gallery education has in the delivery of educational provision for young people within the youth justice system and using the John Hansard Gallery as an exemplar – which has been working in partnership with the Wessex Youth Offending Team since 2007 - Ronda Gowland-Pryde will explore how gallery education can enhance this provision and contribute towards the future educational attainment of young people who have offended. Focusing on selected auto/biographical experiences of participants, this discussion aims to highlight how valuable creativity can be for the long term personal development of young people, in an ever changing climate of central government funding for the arts and youth justice.
