Research into skills for festivals
cross the UK there has been a growing interest in and recognition of the benefits of a thriving Festival and Event scene. There is a widespread belief that a shortage of skills is constraining the development of the sector both nationally and regionally in the North East. The research undertaken in this study attempted to identify the regional skills issues through a combination of literature review and interviews with a wide range of festivals and events.
The findings show that whilst there are some skills shortages, as well as some areas where the North East excels, there are other issues which act as barriers to the development of festivals and events in the region. These need to be resolved alongside, if not before, any skills issues for the sector to progress.
Areas where skills shortages were reported include festival programming, outdoor event management, specialist supervisors and stewards and ‘top end’ equipment and skills.

Creative Reading: young people, reading and public libraries
Creative Reading argues that far from being passive and receptive, reading is a creative activity in itself, and is the cornerstone of other creative processes. A love of reading can be more influential on young people’s success at school than parental wealth or social class.
