Momentum Arts, a member of the Creative Learning in Partnership (CLIP) consortium, provides and delivers alternative ways of learning and creative personal development to re-engage learning using visual, digital media and performing arts.
In partnership with Cambridgeshire and Peterborough secondary schools, Cambridgeshire Locality Youth Service, Peterborough 14-19 Youth Service, Ormiston Children and Families and Wisbech Rosmini Centre, we deliver work based learning, alternative curriculum activity and creative intervention with young people (14-16 years) deemed to be at risk of not going into education, employment and training (NEET).
These short intensive 2-5 day motivational courses led by professional creative Momentum Arts facilitators, focus on developing employability skills, re-engaging learners in education and, in doing so, provide motivation and inspiration for positive career and further education choices including those within the creative industries.
Achievements and Outcomes
- Since 2007 we engaged 185 young people (16-25 yrs) deemed to be Not in Employment, Education or Training developing their employability skills and supported their positive progression with partners.
- Since 2009 we engaged with 350 learners (14-16 yrs) deemed to be at risk of NEET of which 20% achieved a Level 1 qualification Bronze Arts Award or ASDAN and 95% are now EET having progressed into education, employment or training.
Yr 9–11 learners took part in a range of work related learning activities including:
- The creation of Welcome, a digital art mural on permanent display at Wisbech Rosmini Centre,
- Year 11 students at Thomas Clarkson Community College produced a short film based on their experiences and future aspirations which was showcased at The Luxe Cinema in Wisbech
- The production of a film based on experiences at Grafham Water Centre with the Fenland U Year 11 Transition programme in 2010.
