The World Reimagined is set to be the biggest public art education project for racial justice in the UK. It is an exciting new national programme that brings people together through art, dialogue and learning to consider our shared history so we can make racial justice a reality, together.

Schools in nine learning host cities will have the opportunity to engage with our Globe Programme through Artist Residencies.

These build on our core Learning Programme offer of Classroom Resources and Leadership in Teaching modules – co-created with artists and subject matter experts including Baroness Floella Benjamin; poet & playwright Inua Ellams; Professor Kehinde Andrews; and cast members from the West End’s Hamilton.

For the selected schools in each learning host city, Artist-Educators will work in the spring/summer 2022 with students, teachers and the entire school community to deliver the Learning Programme and create the school’s Globe – which will feature as part of The World Reimagined. In autumn 2022, the Art-Educator will return to the school for another, shorter residency to develop a bespoke plan for how that school can further embed arts-based learning for social justice.

This part of The World Reimagined programme is supported by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation – one of the largest independent grant-makers in the UK.

They are looking for Artist Educators who can go into schools as residents to support teachers and learners on the Globe Programme. This two year relationship will involve interacting with the school on a range of levels from teacher training to creating artist outputs with the young people. You will receive training and peer-support as a part of the role.
