Creative Professionals

Long-term relationships between creative professionals and schools lie at the heart of the Creative Partnerships process. Creative professionals work as Creative Agents, helping to deliver the programme, or as creative practitioners working directly with students and teachers.

By working with creative professionals from many different disciplines, young people develop a variety of skills, knowledge and capabilities. Creative professionals have different expectations of young people and when these are set high, children rise to the challenge. Creative professionals also benefit from working in schools.

By being exposed to new voices and different views, and the creative teaching methods of many of the teachers, they are challenged and their personal creative practice is enriched.
