Moving forward: NALN and ukadia Conference 2010

We are delighted to announce the first joint conference of NALN and ukadia.

NALN has established itself as a significant arts widening participation network over the last four years, and ukadia promotes the key contributions of the specialist colleges to the UK’s world-renowned reputation in the creative and cultural industries.

This conference offers the first opportunity for NALN and ukadia to move forward together, strengthening the voice of the specialist colleges and allowing specialist institutions to work more collaboratively. By its nature the conference hopes to extend opportunities for networking, partnership working and to share good practice on widening participation and other issues pertinent to specialist colleges. Focus will remain on the key issues that continue to be important to both NALN and ukadia.

Day One will look at:
The future development of widening participation in art, design & performing arts in Higher Education.

Day Two will look at:
Prevalent issues facing the specialist arts institutions, in the light of the current socio-economic climate and the impending election year.

Drawing on the expertise of researchers and practioners in the further and higher education sector, the conference will be of interest to anyone working in higher and further education in the arts as well as those with an interest in widening access and increasing diversity.
