Cultural Education in Swindon and Wiltshire
The Cultural Education Partnership is currently in the very early stages of formation.
Working with the NPOs in the area and the established networks of cultural organisations, Artsmad, SOLO, the Music Hubs and others, we will be galvanising these relationships, building on the launch of the Cultural Education Challenge in Swindon back in February 2016.
The Cultural Education launch provided the impetus for the practitioners and education forums in the area to take on the challenge and respond as a collective. For more on this emerging Cultural Education Partnership please contact Mark Powell at mark@primetheatre.co.uk
