What’s your pledge?
National charity Action for Children’s Arts is inviting children and young people from across the country to send in a pledge for children’s arts.
Submissions will be used to compile a short pledge-card. This will be issued to politicians nationwide in the run up to the General Election, asking them to guarantee their commitment to providing a future for children’s arts in the UK. Participants can either send in a written or recorded/filmed pledge. Our favourite entries will be compiled into a sound-bite to help spread the message.
Here is an example to get you started: “Every child, every year: a play, a concert, a gallery, a museum.”
WE WELCOME SUBMISSIONS FROM ANYONE AGED 16 OR UNDER. CLOSING DATE IS 7PM ON MONDAY 8 MAY 2017.
How to get involved:
- Write 25 words that you think make a strong, snappy statement in support of all children in the UK having the chance to watch and participate in creative activities such as music, art, drama or dance.
- Create a 15 second audio recording or film that makes a bold statement in support of all children in the UK having the chance to watch and participate in creative activities such as music, art, drama or dance.
Ask a parent/guardian/carer to email your entry to: mimi.doulton@childrensarts.org.uk
In your email please include:
- Entrant’s name
- Entrant’s age
