Cultural Learning – Big Link Up

14 July 2010

Call for Schools to sign up to Cultural Learning Alliance.

Heads and teachers who think that children deserve to experience and enjoy cultural experiences can now sign up to the Cultural Learning Alliance to show their support.

Lord Puttnam, Chair of the Alliance, says "By speaking with one voice and working together through the Alliance, we can work towards ensuring that all children and young people have their full entitlement to quality cultural learning".

The Cultural Learning Alliance maintain that Schools are central in delivering cultural learning for children and young people in that they are often the place where children first experience the arts and where talents and interests are developed.

The Alliance invites Heads, teachers and governors to sign up and help to create a community that will promote, protect and build access to culture for all children and young people. The Alliance will provide Heads and teachers with research, news and best practice examples.
