About bridge organsations
As part of our goal to make sure that every child and young person has the opportunity to experience the richness of the arts and culture, Arts Council England funds a network of 10 bridge organisations as part of the National portfolio. Each of these will use their experience and expertise to connect children and young people, schools and communities with art and culture.

Everyones a Winner is a film made by young people from Tibshelf Community School in Derbyshire. The content is woven around an inset day focusing on young people's participation in school and in particular their role as leaders of the "Short Burst" programme, a classroom based approach that supports active engagement in learning.
The narrative explores the relationship between young people and adults in the school learning environment. The debate that resulted explores the provocation of what young people need now from adults in changing the way that adults work with young people.
