Abram Wilson - ambassador
Music, creativity, and education go hand in hand. As an artistic director I strive to find new and innovative ways of expressing jazz music through composition, improvisation, and group learning - engaging audiences all over the world through creative participative workshops.Tomorrows Warriors and CP share the philosophy that is is imperative to offer a wide variety of collaborative teaching methods to engage with different types of learners thus ensuring high quality education to those at risk of disengagement or exclusion when mainstream methods fail.
About Creative Partnerships
Creative Partnerships is the government’s flagship creative learning programme, designed to develop the skills of children and young people across England, raising their aspirations, achievements, skills and life chances. We foster innovative, long-term partnerships between schools and creative professionals, including architects, scientists, multimedia developers and artists.
What do we do?
We support thousands of innovative, long-term partnerships between schools and creative professionals, including artists, performers, architects, multimedia developers and scientists.
Young people develop the skills they need to fulfil their potential, not only in exams and extra-curricular activities, but also in the workplace and wider society.
Teachers are also able to nurture their creativity, develop their practice and become better educators.
Working with Creative Partnerships, schools use creativity to solve problems and see real improvements in pupil behaviour and school performance.
What we believe
We believe that creativity is not a skill bound within the arts, but a wider ability to question, make connections, and take an innovative and imaginative approach to problem solving. These are skills that are demanded by today’s employers.
What we have achieved
- Schools that work with Creative Partnerships improve their GCSE results faster
- Absence rates have been reduced by a fifth in Creative Partnerships primary schools
- Academic evidence shows that Creative Partnerships increases parental engagement in children’s learning
