We are sad to report that our dear friend and colleague, Cathy Bereznicki, died on Monday 1 February 2016. We have lost a dedicated champion of creativity in learning and a graceful and vivacious friend. Chair of Ignite! as we became independent in 2006. Former producer for Performing Arts Labs (PAL). Many years in career guidance practice and policy. Choral singer all her life.
Cathy's legacy will be mapped on these pages and in the lives of the thousands of young people she supported through Ignite! and in other ways. For the moment we share Cathy's commitment and passion in her own words: I feel passionate about Ignite!’s purpose and values. I have been engaged in young people’s futures all of my working life and I know they will need to be imaginative, creative and confident as they ‘career’ along. Ignite!’s projects give me a direct input into work which inspires and motivates young people, families and communities.
