Torbay Arts in Schools Network (TASN) is a collaborative and grassroots effort, comprised of 71 organisations, freelancers, and schools in the Torbay area. The network currently serves as Torbay’s Cultural Education Partnership and also as a Family Arts Network.
The group provides shared regional advocacy, arts menus, creative resources, and arts outreach in partnership with area schools, providing support both inside and outside of formal education, delivering on 7 shared strategic aims.
This includes improved signposting to quality enrichment, regionally-based prevention & positive activities, extra-curricular offers, outreach, informal education and work with home-schooled children and in alternative education settings, as well as mainstream education support.
Their work is action-driven, and they meet regularly to do shared activity planning. The network is currently chaired and coordinated by Dr Erin Walcon, Co-Director, Doorstep Arts. Anyone interested in getting involved can email Erin – erin@doorsteparts.co.uk.
