Escalate Arts aims to create sustainable pathways for young people to access creative opportunities. We want to work with Schools to support greater connectivity with cultural organisations, and creative resources.
Escalate Arts partner schools will be receiving creatively ambitious and impactful arts activity which aims to provide young people with creative opportunities and creative skills development. To find out more about on-going work, take a look at the Culture Box ÄûÃʵ¼°¹ website.
As part of the project, we are developing a ‘Teachers Hub’ for Spelthorne Schools, which will support continued professional development. If you are a teacher based in a Spelthorne school, contact cultureboxsurrey@surreycc.gov.uk for more information.
