`1 Introduction`

In 2022-23, the company has continued its work in
different fields, including two Erasmus Plus projects on
aspects of the work of Dorothy Heathcote: the Commission
Model of Teaching, and Rolling Role. MAT is lead partner
in both projects, with partners in Turkey, Portugal,
Germany, Poland, Spain and the UK.

The Commission Model project ended in October and the
Rolling Role project will end in October 2023.
Unfortunately, as a result of Brexit, we will not be
able to take part in Erasmus Plus projects in the future.

The Facebook group, “The Commission Model of Teaching,”
was created as part of the Erasmus Plus projects, and
continues to grow in numbers. In any month, the average
number of views of FB posts is c.10,000. Individual posts reach
from c.200 people, up to c.2000. The group has raised our
profile, and we have developed new contacts in Europe,
India, Singapore, Hong Kong, and elsewhere. Partly as a
result, our Artistic Director David Allen was invited in
the Autumn 2022 by the Online School of Drama to run a
10-week course on Dorothy’s “Mantle of the Expert”
system, aimed mainly at teachers and practitioners in
India. He also gave a keynote address at a major
international drama in education conference in Antwerp,
Belgium.

The Erasmus Plus project outcomes are published on the website
www.mantlenetwork.com.

In November 2022, we co-organised a 3-day conference with
University College London, called Dorothy Heathcote Now. This
was the second conference we have organised under this title,
and it has now become an annual event. Some 80 delegates attend
in person and another 85 online.

We have continued our project, “Spitfire Over the Midlands,”
funded by National Lottery Heritage Fund. We are working with
groups based in schools in different parts of the region.

We have also undertaken two projects with funding from
Birmingham City Council. The first, on the theme of
medieval Birmingham, formed part of the “Creative City”

Festival organised by the Council to coincide with the
Commonwealth Games. We worked with groups of young people
in several schools, and the project culminated in a
series of events at the Friends of the Earth Building in
Digbeth, including workshops, presentations, a talk by
Professor Carl Chinn, and performance of a new play, The
Lady and the Smith by David Calcutt, which featured a
community cast. The results were published on the project
website, www.dreamingmuseums.com.

We have also secured funding from BCC for a new project
for young people, again with a focus on local history –
Birmingham’s Lost Workhouses.

In these projects, we are happy to be continuing our
relationship with Carl Chinn.

We can celebrate a year of great success, especially in
our educational work, which has raised our profile as a
company, both nationally and internationally.

`2 Erasmus Plus`

In October 2022, we concluded a three-year Erasmus Plus project
on Dorothy Heathcote’s Commission Model of Teaching. MAT was
lead partner, working with a range of other partners in Turkey,
Portugal, Germany, Poland and the UK.

In 2020, we began another Erasmus Plus project, this time looking
at Dorothy’s Rolling Role system, with partners in Spain,
Portugal, Poland and the UK. The project will end in October
2023.

We have promoted both projects through the Facebook group, The
Commission Model of Teaching, first launched in July 2020. it
features daily posts on Dorothy’s work of Dorothy’s work, and
has grown to 1200+ members. The success of the FB group has
raised our profile, and we have developed new contacts in Europe,
India, Singapore, Hong Kong, and elsewhere.

The Erasmus Plus project outcomes are published on the website
www.mantlenetwork.com. In 2021, the number of visits to the site
was 2073. In 2022, there were 2223 visits, an increase of 15%.
In the same year, the site’s google rating grew, together with

the number of people reaching the site via google (an increase
of 73% over the previous year).

The number of subscribers and views to the MAT youtube channel
have increased significantly. In 2021, there were 8,850 views;
in 2022, there were33,190. There are now 4000 views on average
per month.

In part, this success is a result of the synergy between the
different internet platforms, and also our involvement in a
range of activities and events, including:

MAT was co-organiser with University College London of the 3-day Dorothy Heathcote Now conference at UCL in November 2022. This follows last year’s conference at Birmingham City University; another conference is planned for 2023. 80 delegates attended in person, and another 85 online.
In June, an article called “The Commission Model of Teaching,” by David Allen and Agata Handley, was published in open access in Saber & Educar journal (Vol. 31, No 1).
In July, David was a delegate at the International Drama in Education Research Institute (IDIERI) Conference at University of Warwick, and delivered a paper on the Commission Model.
In September, he began to teach a 10-week online course on Mantle of the Expert, for the Online School of Drama; and also gave the keynote at the Art4Dem (Art for Democracy) event in Antwerp, on drama and citizenship.
The year also saw the publication by Routledge of Humanizing Education with Dramatic Inquiry: In Dialogue with Dorothy Heathcote’s Transformative Pedagogy by Brian Edmiston and Iona Towler Evans. Iona is a member of the MAT Board and also contributes to the Erasmus Plus projects.

Through these activities and projects, we have played a leading
role in reawakening interest in Dorothy’s work.

`2` `Project Time Machine: Anglo Saxon Birmingham`

As part of the Birmingham 2022 Festival, funded by Birmingham
City Council, we undertook Project Time Machine, working with
groups of young people from local schools. The project was based
on historical fact: the discovery of two skeletons, dating from
the medieval period, in the Digbeth area of Birmingham. There
is a mystery about this discovery. How did they die? Why were
they buried in unmarked graves? We asked participants to
speculate, and come up with their own stories.

The project consultant was Professor Carl Chinn. It culminated
in July 2022, with an exhibition at Birmingham Friends of the
Earth, where groups from four schools (Eden Girls Leadership
Academy, George Dixon Academy, Calthorpe Academy, and Archbishop
Ilsley Catholic School) came together to share their work.

Subsequently, we worked with the playwright David
Calcutt, who took the stories invented by the young
people, and turned them into a play, The Lady and the
Smith, which was given several performances in the
Friends of the Earth garden in September, with a
community cast.

`4` `Spitfire over the Midlands`

We have received a grant of £41,406 from the National
Lottery Heritage Fund, for a new project, Spitfire Over
the Midlands, exploring the impact of the plane on
ordinary people’s lives. We are working with groups of
young people in different venues: Tudor Grange Academy
Worcester; Tudor Grange Academy Redditch; Perdiswell
Primary School; Orchard Centre, Wolverhampton; and Holly
Lodge School, Smethwick. Participants will produce
artwork, drama, films, Oral History interviews, etc.;
and the project will culminate in a major exhibition and
event in Worcester in the summer 2023.

`5 Future Plans`

We have received funding from Birmingham City Council to
undertake a new project for young people, looking at the
story of Birmingham’s “lost” workhouses.

Other future plans include:

concluding the Erasmus Plus projects on Dorothy Heathcote’s “Rolling Role”
continuing the NLHF project, Spitfire Over the Midlands
a new play commission, with funding from Arts Council England.

`6`

`Funding`

In 2022-3, we received funding from National Lottery Heritage
Fund, the British Council (Erasmus Plus), and Birmingham City
Council.

A full breakdown of income and expenditure can be found in our
Financial Statements.
