This network is a chance to be inspired and connect with other SEND settings and partners from across the East Midlands who advocate for creative and cultural learning opportunities for children and young people.

This session will focus on sensory approaches to learning and engagement and will include the following:

• Attenborough Arts will talk about their SENsory Atelier programme and the work and resources their artists have been developing for SEND schools.
• A presentation from Natalya Martin, a specialist sensory artist with a passion for playfulness and curiosity. Her work explores sensory approaches to learning and engagement through live theatre and arts, digital and online, immersive installations, as well as in education and community settings. Natalya has worked on a wide range of innovative and exciting projects working with partners such as Oily Cart Theatre, Carbon Theatre and most recently The V&A Museum of Childhood. https://www.natalyasensory.co.uk/
• An opportunity to hear from and share practice with other SEND schools in relation to their arts and cultural development and impact of this work

We hope you are able to join us!
