Making community through music in Spitalfields, London Author: Madeline Gunn, Carly Lake, Clare Lovett and Jane Wills Research Strand: – Date: September 2015 Abstract: Between 2013 and 2015, funding from Creativeworks London allowed the School of Geography, Queen Mary University of London to help Spitalfields Music explore the impact of their work in two primary schools in Tower Hamlets. Researchers looked at the Takeover festivals in Kobi Nazrul and Shapla primary schools. These projects enabled Year 3 pupils to create, programme and produce their own festival to be experienced by their entire school, families and the general public. Research data was collected through interviews with participants, artists, teachers and members of the Spitalfields Music team, focus groups with children and observations of the workshops and performances. CREATIVE VOUCHER REPORT – A digitised planning system: scoping study Author: Research Strand: Place Work Knowledge (PWK) – Round 7 – Networks Date: June 2015 Abstract: This scoping study is a result of the collaboration between Central Saint Martins and the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). The aim of this “scoping study” was to inform the design of a Digitised Planning System (DPS); evaluating how to extend the economic, social and environmental benefits of ‘big data’ and new technology into planning and design. The ultimate goal is a tool that will revolutionise architectural and urban design processes. However, the potential benefits of a DPS will extend to the general public and creative practitioners across London and beyond. CREATIVE VOUCHER REPORT – Becoming Radio Ready: valuing youth radio training Author: Research Strand: Demonstrating Value – Round 6 – Audiences Strand Date: May 2015 Abstract: This Creative Voucher collaboration was between Reprezent, a London based social enterprise that runs a youth-led radio station and Goldsmiths, University of London researchers, based in the STACS research centre, Centre for Community Engagement Research. The purpose of this work was to explore the ‘value’ of Reprezent’s training and how it is articulated by participants. Although originally envisioned around a youth led radio campaign, the focus was reconfigured around Reprezent’s stage 2 radio training. Interviews were conducted with young people who had been through Reprezent’s suite of training (stage 5 being the final stage) to assess the impact that level 2 training had on them and their readiness for employment.

The focus of the enquiry was to understand the role of the arts in enabling Only Connect (OC) members to become positive contributors, and to identify the value and place of the creative arts to the organisation and the immediate community. This report considers the role of the creative arts in preventing, reducing re-offending and desistence and presents data and contributions from OC users, members, staff and associate artists, attained utilising a mixed method approach.

CREATIVE VOUCHER REPORT – The World in a Cube – Project Report Author: New Media Networks Research Strand: Mobility and Mobile Culture – Round 1 – Digital Economy Strand Date: May 2015 Abstract: New Media Networks (NMN) has the licence to Tate & Lyle’s film archive for educational purposes. From March 2013 until August 2013 NMN and the Birkbeck Institute for the Moving Image collaborated to research and develop creative opportunities for public engagement with these films. This is a unique archive of approximately 300 films; its significance to East London cannot be overstated and one of the key aims of the project has been to enable the communities whose families helped to build the company’s history to engage or re-engage with this heritage. Public access is, therefore, the motivating force at the heart of this project. Funding from Creativeworks London has supported NMN and Birkbeck in developing a prototype for delivering learning and engagement processes to meet the objective determined within the licence granted to NMN by Tate & Lyle. The following report details and evaluates the work that was undertaken to achieve this goal. |
