AC[M] EAST Partnerships

Alice Heggie is an early years music engagement specialist and academic with a background in building industry-creative education partnerships and placements. Alice leads on our KE work in Kent and Essex and is working to establish projects and partnerships within the regions neighbouring ACM campuses to explore innovations in creative education and community settings.

The first project to take shape is a Satellite Foundation Year programme with PIE Factory Music, a music focussed youth centre in Thanet. PIE and AC[M] are currently exploring how ACM’s foundation course can work alongside Pie’s existing training programme to pilot a new model for skills development in community learning settings.

Regional engagement supports innovation and social impact agengas withing the KE team but are also valuable in terms of public engagement and outreach, both Alice and Claire will collaborate closely with our outreach and recruitment and Access and Participation teams.
