LtL Activities and Resources

As part of the Lift the Lid project several resources were developed to help more Island schools and young people achieve their Arts Award. These are focused on Explore level.

Arts Award

Arts Award is a series of national arts qualifications that can fit around a wide range of arts, cultural and heritage activities and projects. Arts Award inspires young people to grow their arts and leadership talents: it’s creative, valuable and accessible. There are several different levels of Arts Award; from Discover and Explore, to Bronze, Silver and Gold level. More general information on Arts Award can be found at: www.artsaward.org.uk

This portfolio template was created as part of the Lift the Lid project, but can be used to support Arts Award Explore at any time.
