Abstract

The overarching Branching Out research project aimed to establish how ‘Artscaping’, the arts-in-nature practice developed by Cambridge Curiosity and Imagination (CCI), can be scaled up to reach more children by mobilising community assets to deliver it in schools. This involved development through various research methods and co-creation of a Branching Out model in which volunteers, teaching assistants and teachers were trained and supported by artists as ‘Community Artscapers’ who then facilitated Artscaping for small groups of children in their schools. Family therapy charity Cambridge Acorn Project and Fullscope were also partners. The model was piloted in six primary schools in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough in 2022: the Branching Out project pilot. For the purposes of this report, we refer to the pilot in schools as the project. This report presents qualitative findings from the Branching Out project based on interviews with Community Artscapers and school senior leadership about their experience. It covers the background and research approach for Branching Out, the learning from establishing and delivering the Branching Out model, and the key impacts for the children, Community Artscapers, and schools.
