Use your imagination...

Are you a professional, experienced in your field and passionate about what you do?

Could you inspire young people in schools to use their imagination and build creative skills for future life?

What is Creative Partnerships?
Creative Partnerships is the government's flagship creative learning programme, designed to develop the creative skills of young people across England, raising their aspirations and achievements and equipping them for their futures. Our world leading programme is transforming learning practice right across the curriculum.

Creative Partnerships supports thousands of innovative, long-term partnerships between schools and creative professionals, who inspire teachers and young people to challenge how they work and experiment with new ideas in all subject areas.

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. Our goal is to open up more opportunities to young people by helping them to develop skills that today's employers expect from their workforce.

What kind of creative professionals do we want to work with?
The creative professionals we work with aren't just from the arts, they come from a broad range of fields. Current examples of people working with us include: web designers, landscape gardeners, architects, scientists, artists and musicians. The important thing is to have a creative mind, an active imagination and a commitment to share your knowledge and ideas with young people and teachers. You will work in partnership with teachers in a school setting to help young people develop their creative skills, which they can take with them into the world when they leave school.
