How is best to promote and encourage progression through the levels?

hello folks

I am looking for advice and support regarding the number I currently have with Silver and Gold.  My offer is Bronze is currentlay fit to burst and the pupils I work with are super jean in taking part in this level of Arts Awards.

however, it seems once they are through this relatively accessible course they are deterred by the work load and struggle to engage with Silver and Gold.

Therefore does anyone have any exciting and engaging ways to try to help them feel supported and ready to embark on the rest of their journey?

 

Thank you in advacnce

Hi Laura, 

Often other young people are the best advocates for Arts Award, so it might be worth looking at opportunities for inspiring your potential Silver/Gold students with stories from other young people who have worked at these levels.

Are there any current/past students who could come in and speak to them about their experiences? Or you could direct students to some of the case studies on Arts Award Voice for some inspiration. 

You might also want to encourage any young people interested in working towards Silver and Gold to look into joining the Arts Award Youth Network, which provides opportunities for young people to take on different roles as Arts Award activists and Voice Reporters - these roles might appeal to them. 

Do any other advisers have experience of recruiting students for Silver and Gold that they can share?

Best wishes,

Jodie, Arts Award Support Team.
