🌍 Preparing Students for Success in a Global Working World ✨ --- At the University of the Arts London (UAL), we believe that creative graduates are not just local innovators—they’re global players. In a recent feature for Times Higher Education , Richard Sant , Project Director of Rethinking Employability, shared how UAL equips students with the digital skills and professional networks needed to thrive in an international marketplace. --- 🔑 Empowering Graduates with Digital Presence From building standout online portfolios to crafting professional communication strategies, UAL’s Showcase platform and Careers and Employability team provide resources to teach students how to market their skills globally. Graduates learn to present their work digitally, protect their intellectual property, and leverage tools like social media and website builders for career growth. --- 📱 Connecting Students to Global Networks UAL’s global reach doesn’t stop at graduation. Through initiatives like QR-coded Showcase profiles, Creative Opportunities job boards, and the UAL Founders and Freelancers club, students access a vast network of collaborators and employers during and beyond their studies. Alumni remain connected through WhatsApp groups, online events, and opportunities to feature in UAL’s digital campaigns, ensuring lifelong support. --- 🛍️ Beyond Graduation: Digital and Retail Platforms Platforms like UAL’s 'not just a shop' provide graduates with avenues to sell their work internationally while gaining hands-on experience working with retailers.

“As a disabled artist, my health shapes my work, practice, and life.

Phoebe is also a resident artist for several hospitals, where she regularly facilitates workshops for patients allowing them to use art as a therapeutic experience.

🌍 The Arts Taking Action: How the UK Cultural Sector is Driving Climate Change Solutions As world leaders gather for COP29's final day in Baku, Azerbaijan, to address the global climate crisis, a new report from Arts Council England highlights how the UK’s cultural sector is playing a critical role in this challenge. --- The report, based on data from 591 grantees, reveals that: 🔵 90% of cultural organisations now have environmental policies in place. 🔵 72% are taking tangible steps to improve energy efficiency. 🔵 Nearly three-quarters of organisations are embedding climate themes in their creative work to inspire awareness and change. --- This progress is more than just policy—it’s a creative revolution. From solar panels powering Creative Folkestone’s Quarterhouse to Global Grooves’ hydro turbine in Greater Manchester, the report shares 50 powerful examples of how the arts are leading by doing. These projects don’t just reduce carbon footprints; they spark dialogue, engage communities, and model solutions for a sustainable future. --- Alison Tickell of Julie’s Bicycle calls it a “testament to the abundance of creative content, organisational change, and outspoken narratives on climate, nature, and justice.” --- At a time when the World Meteorological Organization predicts 2024 may be the hottest year on record, Suzanne Dhaliwal, a climate justice strategist, reminds us that creatives aren’t just storytellers of the crisis—they’re architects of solutions. --- What role do you see for the arts in the fight against climate change? Let’s discuss! 🌱 --- Read more about this report in The Art Newspaper > https://bit.ly/3UYnGad

Virtual Reality and art therapy come together with Wimbledon College of Arts graduate Charmiane's Showcase project to create a gamified experience of Brené Brown's book Atlas of the Heart, which looks at 87 emotions and experiences that define what it means to be human. Players are encouraged to practice lessons from the book by exploring the game's maps. Informed by Charmiane's own neurodivergence, the aim of the project was to make mental health care information more digestible and easier to understand for a wide range of audiences. 🔗 Connect with Charmiane on Showcase: https://lnkd.in/eFJXyH7v 📺 Watch the full video: https://lnkd.in/e33t4Q-7

Every week, we spotlight visionary projects in our #Create4Good series—work that reimagines the world for the better and offers tangible or speculative solutions for mankind 🌍. This #DisabilityHistoryMonth , we explore accessible and inclusive design for disability, ageing, and health. Know an inspiring project we should feature? Share it with us in the comments. 💡💬 --- First up… 🌿 Designing for Neurodiversity: Westmark Lower School by NBBJ 🌿 --- In Encino, California, the new Westmark Lower School is redefining how educational spaces can empower neurodiverse students. Designed by NBBJ, this net-zero building incorporates nature-inspired architecture to create a calming, inclusive, and adaptive environment for children with learning differences such as dyslexia and dysgraphia. --- At the heart of the school is a serene courtyard, complete with a California sycamore tree and circular gardens. The U-shaped design ensures every space is within 50 feet of the outdoors, seamlessly integrating sensory learning, social engagement, and creative play. 🌳✨ --- Inside, muted colours, dimmable lighting, and natural materials help reduce overstimulation, creating classrooms that feel as warm and inviting as they are functional. Terraces on the upper-level double as outdoor classrooms, while staggered volumes minimise sound transfer, supporting students' well-being and focus. --- The school also champions sustainability, featuring energy-efficient systems, water-saving landscaping, and future-ready solar capabilities. It’s a shining example of how thoughtful design can serve both people and the planet. 💧 🌞 --- 📸 | Ty Cole

Disabled people make up 23% of the population but they often feel alienated or isolated. The arts’ ability to offer us a window into another world makes it a perfect vehicle for awareness raising. When disabled people see their experiences reflected in art and design, it can be transformative. To mark the start of Disability History Month, we invited Jo Verrent, Director at Unlimited, an organisation that commissions extraordinary work from disabled artists, to curate a #UALShowcase collection for us that centres the experiences of disabled people. 🔗 From photography, graphic communication design and fine art to architecture, fashion and jewellery design, find out how these projects seek to make the world a little less disabling for those usually overlooked in public space and the arts: https://lnkd.in/ekU-TUCV 📸 Projects featured: 1 – Burnout Season!, Harriet Lawless, 2024 BA Graphic Communication, Design, Central Saint Martins, UAL* 2 – Pedigrees of Madness, Amy Clark, 2024 Foundation Diploma in Art and Design, Central Saint Martins, UAL 3 – Imperfect Amendments, Scarlett Barclay, 2024 M ARCH: Architecture, Central Saint Martins, UAL* 4 – Invisible Pain, Hanting Bi, 2024 MA Illustration, Camberwell College of Arts, UAL 5 – ADHD in the City, Pamela Naidoo, 2024 M ARCH: Architecture, Central Saint Martins, UAL 6 – PCOS and its effects on women, Sandra Mitrea, 2023 BA Fashion Imaging and Illustration, London College of Fashion, UAL *available to hire via Arts Temps on their Showcase profiles
