CapeUK is looking for Regularly Funded Organisations (RFOs) and young people (15-25) from Yorkshire, Humber and NE Lincolnshire to take part in a new programme ‘Critical Friends’
The ‘Critical Friends’ programme is a partnership between Arts Council Yorkshire and CapeUK and aims to enable a selected group of young people to act as critical friends to selected RFOs.
CapeUK will train the successful young people in communication techniques, presentation skills, mentoring, feedback, reviewing and reflecting – and the young people will gain invaluable experience working alongside some of the region’s best arts and cultural organisations.
This consultancy opportunity will allow RFOs to gain an insight from a young person’s perspective, allowing the organisations to assess and develop their provision of work for young people.

On Friday 26th November, CapeUK’s Rosie Marcus will be giving a presentation to the Museums Association in London on ‘Creative Spaces’; an innovative research programme involving museums and art galleries working alongside children as co-researchers in the re-design of their learning experience.
The Creative Spaces research programme was initiated by the North West (NW) Museum Hub, a partnership between six major museums and galleries in the North West. From the outset the Hub acknowledged that research should play a key role in identifying new practice and demonstrating the effectiveness of new approaches pioneered by Hub partners.
CapeUK was contracted to undertake the programme; activity includes action research, project delivery and consultancy in formal and informal educational settings – often bringing together academics and educational practitioners.
