Cultural Education in Plymouth
Creativity and culture are buzzing in Plymouth, with new venues, festivals and events springing up. The energy of young makers is at the heart of these developments, from Outpost to Native Makers; Exim to Street Factory; and Young Rewired State to Code Clubs.
Plymouth Culture is an independent agency dedicated to supporting Plymouth’s cultural development, and to helping organisations, communities and events flourish. Agreement has been secured for Plymouth Culture to host and lead the CEP, as a recognised sub-committee of the Plymouth Culture Board. Terms of reference have been developed and agreed, including 50% representation of young people on the board. Discussions have also started with the Teaching School’s Culture and Arts Network, whose focus is developing the capacity of teachers.
