On December 13th at Nottingham Central Library, we welcomed pupils from Bluecoat Academy Beechdale and NEST (Nottingham Education Sanctuary Team) as well as representatives from a variety of arts organisations and refugee groups to celebrate a shared commitment to creating a more inclusive, compassionate society that welcomes refugees and asylum seekers.
The icing on the cake was an amazing song written in a single day by the pupils with the help of Nottingham songwriters Rob Green and Nic Harvey. We invite Arts and Cultural organisations to find out more and sign the Art of Belonging pledge.
We are actively looking for new members to join our Youth Cultural Partnership, (Connecting Notts) to represent arts organisations and sixth forms across Nottingham.
