Welcome to the New Engagement HQ

Hello Creative Practitioners, and welcome to our new online home – Engagement HQ! This platform is replacing our old Facebook group, and we’re excited to trial this new space with you all. The intention behind the shift is to create a central hub for important program information, key dates, and – most importantly – a place for us to learn from one another as our projects take shape throughout the year.

Each week, you’ll copy and paste your Weekly Reflection from your Google Drive document (which includes your warm-up, core activity, and session reflection) into this platform so the wider Creative Practitioner team can follow along. This is our new way of sharing what’s working, what we’re experimenting with, and how our partner teachers and young people are responding. It’s also a space to “steal like an artist” – share creative ideas that have been a hit in your sessions and feel free to borrow inspiration from others too.

We're building a stronger sense of collaboration here, and your contributions are key to making that happen. You’re also warmly encouraged to share any exhibitions or creative events you’re involved in outside of FORM – it’s a great way to support one another’s professional practice, invite others along to your exhibitions and stay connected as a creative community.

Huge thanks to Emily for setting up Engagement HQ and getting us all sorted.
I’m really looking forward to diving into your project plans and reading your posts as your programs unfold.

Wishing you all the very best for the start of your projects – here’s to a fantastic year of creativity and collaboration!
