The Arts Council of Wales is seeking applicants for an evaluation of Creative learning in the early years.
The purpose of Creative learning in the early years is to explore what effect bringing creative learning into Early Years settings has on the learning and development of 3 – 5 year olds.
It is a three-year initiative with the aim of engaging with 70 childcare settings in total. The initiative launched on 14 December 2022 and has recruited 13 settings across Wales in Year 1.
The initiative runs until 2025 and throughout that time we would like to work with an individual or organisation that can support us in delivering;
• A Year 1, formative report, that will help us amend the Year 2 initiative as required.
• A Year 2, interim report that sets out emerging findings.
• A final report that sets out the impact, learning and recommendations from the evaluation.
If you have an imaginative approach to conducting evaluation and research, then we want to hear from you.
