Frédéric Jousset, a French philanthropist, through his Art Explora foundation, is funding a scheme to enable over 100,000 schoolchildren in the UK to visit cultural venues like the British Museum. This initiative addresses cultural inequality, as over 60% of teachers haven't taken students to museums recently. Funding over £1m over four years, Jousset highlights the public education funding shortfalls in Europe. Additionally, Art Explora launched the Time Odyssey program, an engaging digital learning adventure, at various museums to enhance students' experiences.
"Unfortunately this is where public deficit brings us. This is the case with most countries in Europe, not just the UK. There is not enough money for education."
"The North East faces challenges such as child poverty. Museums can offer transformational experiences; children have travelled from over 60 miles away."
