Artsmark Celebration Week
Every year we host Artsmark Celebration Week to shout out about the fantastic achievements of our Artsmark settings and advocate for cultural education across the curriculum.
This year we’re focussing on the many benefits arts and culture can have on our mental health. As schools continue to manage the impact of Covid-19 we understand that supporting pupil and staff wellbeing is at the top of your priority list. We’ve created a set of free, downloadable resources for teachers which offer creative activities to help students think about how creativity can support their wellbeing. We’d love for you to use these during Artsmark Celebration Week (and beyond!) and share the results with us on social media using #CelebrateArtsmark.
How you can get involved
We know that this year’s Celebration Week might be slightly different to previous years, but however you #CelebrateArtsmark, we’d love to hear about it. Get in touch with us on Twitter and let us know your plans and share your Celebration Week images! We’ve created some social media cards and GIFs you can share on your platforms to help you share your achievements far and wide! You can download these at the bottom of this page.

Teachers
Your Wellbeing Toolkit
To say thank you for all your hardwork in inspiring young people, we've put together a toolkit especially for teachers and teaching staff to help you take of your wellbeing. This resource is full of practical and creative ideas to support your mental health - download it for free and share in your staff rooms!
Key Stage 1 & 2
My Wellbeing Bubble
An activity sheet to help children think about activities that make them feel good and look after themselves using the five senses as inspiration!
Dear Wonderful You
A letter writing activity to encourage children to use descriptive language to tell friends and family about creative activities they enjoy.
We've also created a word bank to help pupils think of descriptive words for the activities above.
Key Stage 2, 3 & 4
Wellbeing Festival
Students are asked to plan their own online wellbeing festival – from planning activities to marketing the event and even pitching to their classmates! A great resource that can be adapted for Key Stages 2,3 and 4, this activity is all about thinking outside of the box.
