An initiative to inspire the country's next creative generation, the National Art & Design Saturday Club hosts 14- to 16-year-old students from England, Wales and Northern Ireland, who attend a weekly workshop at their local arts university, as well as a series of visits to galleries and museums. The efforts of their year-long workshop are displayed every June at Somerset house

这是一个激发国家下一代创意的举措，俱乐部主办了来自英国、威尔士和北爱尔兰的14至16岁学生，他们参加了当地艺术大学的每周研讨会，以及参观美术馆和博物馆的一系列活动。作为课程的一部分，班级被邀请去参观一个大师班的工作室和实践，让他们探索创造性的企业，并在一个新的环境中测试他们的学习。壁纸**见证了索莱尔基金会去年在俱乐部伦敦总部举办一个大师班时所做的难以置信的努力。

该基金会倡导创意、工艺和设计（并鼓励孩子们的自信和自尊），自从星期六开始在全国各地的大学举行以来，这项计划从四个俱乐部发展到40个俱乐部，增长了十倍。

索莱尔解释说，我们相信，星期六俱乐部模式，具有长达一年的活动和全国性活动，以及它对成员的创造性和生活技能以及他们的抱负和信心的影响，是对学校课程的有价值的提升。在年轻学生中需要鼓励的创造性学科。他接着说：“人们常常非常重视和支持科学、技术、工程和数学教育，但这些受试者在16岁以后仍然有低收入，尤其是女孩。”索莱尔解释说，新俱乐部的目标是让年轻人在学校的压力之外去探索和享受不同的课程，同时也向他们展示这些学科是有趣的。

The past academic year, the network has expanded with the introduction of a Science & Engineering Club, set up in partnership with Kingston University (part of the network since 2013)

‘We believe that the Saturday Club model, with its year-long programme of activities and national events, as well as its impact on members' creative and life skills and their ambition and confidence, is a valuable enhancement to the school curriculum,’ explains John Sorrell, whose eponymous foundation is behind the initiative

‘There is often a great emphasis on and support for science, technology, engineering and mathematics education, but these subjects still suffer from low take-up post-16,’ he continues

As part of the programme, the classes are invited to visit studios and practices for a masterclass which allows them to explore creative businesses, as well as test their learnings in a new environment. Here, students experiment during a masterclass with fashion group Pentland

The Clubs were set up as a vehicle for creativity, craft and design, and it has grown from four to 40 clubs since its inception. Pictured: Somerset College's students on a masterclass with architect Michaelis Boyd
