enquire: promoting inspiring learning in galleriesenquire is an exciting national programme of projects that engage children and young people with galleries, the contemporary visual arts and artists. The projects are organised collaboratively by gallery educators, artists and teachers. They have the aim of exploring, assessing and articulating the special learning benefits to young people of working with contemporary art and the gallery space, and the programme offers extensive formal and non-formal CPD for all the professionals involved.Phase 1, from Autumn 2004 to March 2006 involved clusters - or research teams - in London, the North East and South East of England. It identified key success factors that build an evidence-base to support the provision of more gallery education, contribute to developing policy, increased resources and good practice in the gallery sector. Research reports from this phase were published in Autumn 2006. The second phase of enquire, from 2006-8, involved an expanded consortium of ten clusters across England. Research reports from this phase were published in Autumn 2008. Phase 3, 2008-9, comprises twelve projects which are using the enquire research from previous phases to develop capacity amongst galleries and partner schools and artists to deliver more and increasingly effective learning opportunities for children and young people. See enquire programme for full details about all the projects. Phase 4 runs from 2009 – 2011 and is supporting galleries and local authorities to develop projects for children and young people in partnership with schools/youth groups and artists. The aim is to explore how working with galleries and artists can address the objectives of children's services. For further details click here.
