Shine Week takes place between 6 and 10 July 2009. You can celebrate Shine '09 by planning and hosting events showcasing everyone's talents. The week will see classrooms, halls, playgrounds, community spaces and cultural venues shine brightly with young people's talents!

Last year over 2,500 schools took part - the website has info on some of their ideas for a spectacular Shine Week.

Don't forget to email your network coordinators if you'd like help finding an artist for Shine Week - Hannahmackay@gateshead.gov.uk and Caroline.pearce@newcastle.gov.uk We'd love to feature your events on this website!
