This month the NCFA were in Galway, where we held our fourth and final NCFA Colloquy on the arts and education, advocating action on evidence-based policy-making. It’s been an enormously satisfying process. Once again, we reached capacity on the day. We welcomed 200 new followers on twitter, who followed our regular posts from the event and a thousand Facebook friends made it clear they liked what they saw, while another three thousand checked in to find out what was happening and see the photos from the event.
