Synopsis
How can the sector contribute to shaping the future of creative education across the spectrum from schools to Higher Education?
What can the specialist arts HE & FE sector take from the current reviews of cultural and creative policy?
How do we continue to strengthen connections between Secondary, Further and Higher education in a way that provides a natural progression for students, nuturing their creative potential and supporting their journey to employment within the Creative Industries?
