Education Nominations now open for @CLGuild Awards

We are delighted to announce that our popular UKEdMagazine is partnering up with The Creative Learning Guild to celebrate the inspirational innovators, educators and practitioners who live and breathe creative learning.

The new National Creative Learning Awards nomination process is now open until mid-December (2018) ranging across 21 categories, including formal education, the arts and the creative industries. Our magazine editor, Martin Burrett, has been invited onto the judging panel, that also includes an Olivier award-winning theatre producer, a representative from the international Lego Foundation, leading disability arts professional; Ruth Gould and acclaimed poet Ian McMillan. Ian said, ‘I’m proud to be a judge for the Creative Learning Awards because in these turbulent times we need Creative Learning more than ever, and we need criteria by which to judge the value of the Creative Learning. As a judge, I’ll be creative, and I know I’ll learn a lot!’

Nominations are open now and you can join and self-nominate or nominate friends and projects that have inspired you over the last 12 months in 4 easy questions.

Ruth Gamble, Head of Programmes says ‘the Guild is a fellowship; a membership of passionate and like-minded people. By becoming a member and nominating their creative heroes, people and organisations are committing to support creative learning, and each other in this fight for recognition and validation’.
