GLOW
GLOW - Co-Create
Co-Create is a pioneering new initiative to bring arts education resources online for schools across Scotland through Glow. The project has been set up to explore Glow’s potential to support innovative approaches to learning and teaching through the arts.
Through Co-Create, selected Scottish Arts Council funded arts organisations will be supported to deliver a number of ambitious demonstration projects which will trial new ways of learning and teaching.

Mearns Community School Network - Aberdeenshire Council
Mearns Community School Network - Aberdeenshire Council - Community Regeneration
Mearns Community School Network used VOXUR to interview 263 pupils to understand what young people thought about their local community, more specifically about the different aspects of life in the Mearns: leisure & transport facilities, youth information & work and safety in their area.
The result was a 123 page pdf document and a 9 minute video which provided the human factor and evidence of work undertaken to all of the statistics listed.
Scottish Government - Equally Well
Scottish Government - Equally Well Initiative
The Scottish Government’s Equally Well project is tasked with tackling the inequalities in health that will otherwise prevent Scotland from achieving the Government’s overall purpose of sustainable economic growth, supported by increased healthy life expectancy.
A key part of this is engaging with and listening to people from the poorest & most excluded sections of society. Equally Well are using VOXUR as their engagement tool. VOXUR uses video to ask people questions and allows them to easily answer in their own words, regardless of literacy or language. VOXUR’s powerful video management then allows the Project’s Test Sites to easily order testimony & feedback and to publish edits to web and rich media reports.
In this way, VOXUR is not only affording Equally Well insight into the barriers to change, it begins the process of empowerment for the individuals consulted.
Just last week VOXUR was used to report back to the Ministerial Task Force a 12 month review of the Equally Well implementation to date. Please click on the link below to view:
Scottish Qualification Authorities
Scottish Qualification Authorities
Microsoft and the Scottish Qualification Authority (SQA) required a methodology to deliver an innovative teacher project though Partners in Leaning (PIL).
We used EMIT, the precursor of VOXUR, to capture teacher and pupils experiences throughout 10 Education Authorities, in an engaging manner with rich media output.
Youthbank Scotland
Youthbank Scotland
There are between 6 and 50 young people involved in each of Scotland 19 YouthBanks, currently 407 young grant makers. These are the young people involved in all aspects of leadership and decision making in their YouthBank. Their role is not only to lead and decide but to do “Leadership in action” making their YouthBank work and being visible in their community challenging the often negative stereotype held about young people.
YouthBank invests in activities to productively, creatively engage and involve young people in their communities challenging boredom and reducing the mischief that can evolve from it.
VOXUR helps keep a record of the young people’s journey and provides evidence of the difference that YouthBank makes to both individuals and communities as a whole.
