Calling all art and design education colleagues across London and the South East

Following an initial meeting to set up a South East Art and Design Group (SEAD), it was agreed that this group would meet termly in a London culture/gallery/ museum venue, to establish a South East Education Network of teachers, educators in primary, secondary phases, 6th form and FE, HE and all areas related to art and design education, including gallery educators and independent consultants, including subject specialists in creative, media and design education related industries. By using central London as a focus for the SEAD Network Group, we can provide venues that are easily accessed from across the South East. Hopefully, links will also be made with other more local groups establishing themselves in communities within the South East Region.

This group will meet to share information, provide a regular opportunity for input and development, and to enable rapid responses to developments in art and design, where and when there is a need for specific action. At such a time of immense change, it essential that this regional group, brings together art and design education professionals from all phases and areas of work, to communicate and collaborate in ways that enable everyone to be effective in their roles and to support the place of art and design within the curriculum and as an entitlement. This group aims to support the work of NSEAD as the single voice for art and design education in the UK. Through the establishment of regional network groups, the membership can grow and everyone can both have their say and be more effectively supported.

Information about meetings, dates, venues, programmes and agendas will be listed on the NSEAD website within the Regional Networks section. Likewise, discussion and information papers and all dissemination will be established through the NSEAD website and set up in the Autumn Term 2012. A list of attendees will be made available. It is intended that there will be no charge for these attending these meetings and that those presenting or acting in ex-officio roles, do so voluntarily to support the development of the group. Those wishing to attend who are not members of NSEAD will be made very welcome, but it is hoped that attendance may lead to membership. Membership of SEAD is informal and does not commit participants to any actions, but we encourage all participants or members to bring a new colleague with them to each meeting. Following this first meeting, we also plan to establish and agreed e-system to keep members in-touch with meetings, actions and events.
