Ensure there is fair and inclusive access to high-quality cultural learning—particularly for children and young people facing systemic barriers.

Partnerships that drive impact 
Collaborate with schools, cultural organisations, teaching artists, youth services, and employers to strengthen the national cultural learning ecosystem.

Creative workforce development 
Invest in the training, support, and professional development of educators, artists, and creative freelancers; building a skilled, inclusive, and future-ready workforce.

Progression and opportunity for young people 
Support young people to build the skills, confidence, and networks they need to pursue creative careers and shape the cultural life of their communities.

Innovation in learning and practice 
Lead and support new approaches to cultural education, including digital innovation, CPD, and research-informed practice.

Advocacy for cultural learning 
Influence policy, funding, and public understanding to secure the value of arts and culture in the lives of children and young people.
