Information

Website:	http://www.ignitefutures.org.uk
Company Overview:	Ignite! is an independent not-for-profit organisation set up to promote creativity in learning. We believe that creativity and creative thinking skills should be encouraged and nurtured as essential skills for life, economic and social prosperity and personal well-being.
Mission:	Our aim is to develop programmes in partnership with others that demonstrate the importance of creativity across the curriculum.
Products:	We conduct action research into ways of nurturing and supporting the development of creative thinking capacities. We offer workshops and residential creativity labs as well as other forms of support such as mentoring. We manage programmes especially where creativity offers a different approach to learning - most recently in developing programmes for creative approaches to science, technology and engineering.

As usual when the Government announces an entitlement for young people, especially when the words art, culture and creativity are involved, the professional sceptics have a field day by confusing the issue. On this occasion (cultural offer of five hours per week) commentators fail to recognise the connectivity of arts, culture and other subjects and disciplines that render us more human, and that the offer is both in and out of school. Every child has a creative spark in them that is part of their innate capacity to apply their imagination, to play and invent. Developing their creativity, through discovery, exploring and making, can use the vehicles of the arts, technology, science, maths, engineering and crafts (and not exclusively). What results is culture. More importantly, if the offer is delivered by adults with a comparable capacity for imagination, passion and play, the culture that is created is defined by young people themselves.
