CREATIVE PARTNERSHIPS
I was contracted as a Manchester agent for Creative Partnerships, a UK government national action research program aimed at supporting young people’s curriculum-based learning using creative methods. I worked with a number of primary and secondary schools across Greater Manchester over 4 years. My role involved supporting senior management teams to develop creative learning action research projects, supporting schools in planning projects and contracting artists, monitoring, managing and evaluating projects.
