The Creative Learning Programme

THE CREATIVE LEARNING PROGRAMME

At the heart of the Creative Learning Programme for Children’s Capital of Culture is the aim to increase opportunities for children and young people to co-produce new creative work.

Throughout 2025, and beyond, there will be beautiful and brilliant new festivals, events and projects to get involved in. We are working with local, regional and national partners to build and strengthen arts and cultural education in the borough.

We will work with schools, colleges and education providers to:

  • Embed creative teaching and learning across the curriculum.
  • Increase opportunities for children and young people to access and co-create arts and cultural experiences.
  • Offer children and young people opportunities to learn about and progress to a wide range of creative and cultural careers.

There are four ways you can get involved:

  1. Professional Development: Build your expertise and experience of creative teaching and learning.
  2. Pathways: Sign up to new Children’s Capital of Culture events such as Uplift, Wow, Signals and champion opportunities for your children and young people.
  3. Projects: Set up your own new creative, cultural or arts-based projects or events with children and young people.
  4. Action Research: Become part of a supportive group of teachers / educators as researchers.
