My research focused on how education systems often deprioritise creative subjects, contributing to a societal mindset that discourages young people, especially in state schools from exploring creative pathways. I examined how families frequently view creative careers as less "safe" or academically viable, and how this perception limits opportunity. Rooted in a pedagogical philosophy of learning through creativity, I explored strategies to better communicate the value of creative practice. This included investigating zines, home-learning kits, and workshop formats that foster self-guided creative learning both in and beyond the classroom. My aim is to develop a strong creative learning identity that helps families and students better understand and access meaningful futures in the arts and creative industries.
