Cultural Co-operation's Education Programme
Cultural Co-operation's Education Programme works with young people,
teachers and artists to celebrate cultural diversity and the arts.
Inspired by the basic premise that creativity and learning are key in helping us explore our diversity and common humanity, we work in a wide variety of cultural traditions and art forms including:
- Music
- Dance
- Drama/Storytelling
- Visual Arts
OUR CORE MISSION:
- To celebrate and enhance understanding of cultural and religious diversity
- To create opportunities for skills acquisition
- To provide arts education and training for all levels of ability
- To provide young people with enjoyable creative experiences that develop their innate creativity and confidence
- To support teachers in their efforts to deliver the National Curriculum
Our activities include:
Music Village Schools' Programme
