A North East behavioural psychotherapist has backed calls for a โwhole schoolโ approach to help tackle mental health issues affecting the regionโs children and young people. The endorsement comes after a former headteacher who installed a specialist child counsellor to support her pupils at a Northumberland school warned the new Labour government not to โpaper …
You donโt have to look far to find calls for better collaboration between universities and business. The Tory Governmentโs 2017 Industrial Strategy placed university and business collaboration at the core of its agenda, acknowledging that businesses could access new knowledge from universities that would directly boost business performance. This culture is prevalent in STEM (science, …
The Globe Gallery has certainly been a globe-trotting gallery. Even if its โtrottingโ has been confined to the North East, thereโs a circularity about a journey that, after nearly 30 years, brings it back to the place where it all began โ 97 Howard Street, North Shields. It was here that Rashida Davisonโs eye alighted …
There are two versions of The Proms in the popular imagination โ the common (and false) perception is of bow-tied poshos waving Union Jacks while bobbing along to Land Of Hope And Glory. The less well known, but true, perception is of people seriously passionate about their music. Passionate enough, in fact, to queue up …
With typical understatement, Lyndon Longhorne calls with what he describes as ‘a little bit of news’. โJust to let you know, Iโve called it a day,โ he says. โIโm retiring from swimmingโฆbut thereโs a challenge on the horizon.โ For someone whoโs just taken the agonising decision to call time on the dream heโs had since …
The Project A graduates of 2024 bow out with a disturbing exploration of what it means to disappear โ or be โdisappearedโ, as can happen to those who have no say in the matter. Fin Kennedyโs award-winning play of 2005 is based on a book of the same name by Doug Richmond that was published …
The new Government is very much at work. The Kingโs Speech this week mentioned many new bills that will be introduced, including one on English Devolution, referred to widely as the โTake back controlโ bill, and a formal commitment to the new Council of Regions and Nations. The approach of mission-led government, including the idea …
When so much about nature and the environment seems depressing, itโs nice to be able to report on something positive โ something, moreover, that runs counter to a prevailing sense of helplessness. The โsomethingโ is beavers which are gradually being reintroduced to enclosed pockets of land across England with almost instantly beneficial effect, creating wetlands …
Itโs nice to see a good set and you get that at the Peopleโs, even if it isnโt quite what you see in the promotional photos which were taken at the wonderful Tanfield Railway. Prominent on stage is the bridge over the rural branch line where Bobbie, Peter and Phyllis, the children of E Nesbitโs …
Hereโs an idea for tackling the energy crisis โ find a way to connect balletLORENT to the grid. My goodness! On the evidence of this latest presentation, which leaves its dancers panting on the floor, it could power homes from, Iโd guess, Heddon-on-the-Wall to Newcastle city centre. At least the dancers could take their clothes …
