New Dunfermline primary school is ‘Making Space’ to launch architectural publication http://www.childreninscotland.org.uk/html/med_prs.htm
Children in Scotland reports that Dunfermline’s newest primary school, Carnegie, will on 29 June host the launch of Children in Scotland’s new publication Making Space: architecture and design for children and young people.
The publication is a permanent record of the Making Space 2010 Programme, run by Children in Scotland with support from OECD’s Centre for Effective Learning Environments and the Scottish Government, which championed innovation, creativity and sustainability in design for children and young people aged 0-18. The programme, which included an international award and supporting conference showcased innovative architecture and allowed educationalists and design professionals to share ideas about and experiences of creating better school buildings and learning environments.
A new link has been added to the Creativity Portal:
A website devised by young people to inspire interest in contemporary art amongst their peers, offer insight into the workings of the professional art world and, most importantly, be an online community for young people to showcase their work. —View

The Riverside Museum, Glasgow’s new Museum of Transport and Travel has opened to the public. The opening ceremony was conducted by Glasgow City Council Leader, Gordon Matheson.
It houses more than 3000 exhibits, in over 150 interactive displays telling the stories of the people who made the term ‘Clyde Built’ one which travelled the world and spoke volumes about unbeatable quality. From massive steam locomotives, to the recreation of a city street during the 1900s, the cathedral-like structure provides a stunning backdrop to showcase the innovation and ambition of what was the ‘Second City of the Empire’.
Yes it is back again! The event that allows pupils from across Scotland to entertain the nation. We already know that Scotland has got talent but has it got the Glow Factor?

You will see that we have an ever-increasing range of options for all ages and stages to study performing and production arts related subjects with us through:
It is a hugely exciting time for us as we move towards name change and also the new UG curriculum and I know that the work between our organizations will be important in embedding high quality arts practices in drama, film and dance in the city.
We are just about to start planning for the period beginning August 2012 so if you want to chat about what could/should be in there, pick up the phone …

East Ayrshire Council reports that young filmmakers at Kilmarnock Academy were rewarded for their efforts recently, when they attended the premiere of their first-ever film – and received Oscars into the bargain. The Prince’s Trust xl club made the film Beat the Bully to help fellow pupils to recognise different kinds of bullying – and to help them to deal with it. The film is aimed at educating and informing other young people and will be shown in schools and youth clubs across East Ayrshire. Third year pupils at Kilmarnock Academy can opt to join the Prince’s Trust group and follow the course, which focuses on personal development, citizenship and enterprise, for two years.

SQA announces that school pupils and college students from across Midlothian took their place alongside the great and good of contemporary Scottish art at The Royal Scottish Academy in Edinburgh in recognition of their work as part of a community art competition, organised in partnership by SQA and Midlothian Council.
The Midlothian Art Challenge encouraged primary and secondary school pupils and college students to take ownership of one of the 25 meeting rooms named after famous Scots at SQA’s new offices at Shawfair Business Park and create a piece of art inspired by that individual.
SQA’s new offices at Shawfair Business Park will open later this year.
