Cultural Links

This website was initially developed to highlight the learning opportunities that the many museums, galleries, cultural venues and organisations in the Manchester area can offer schools.

It now also serves as a space for teachers, cultural organisations and creative practitioners to share events, projects, programmes and enquiries about all areas of creative learning.

You can also join the magpie Creative Learning Network which is a network for teachers, cultural venues and practitioners interested in creative approaches to learning. You can find more information about the network on News and Information.

Cultural organisations can be a rich source to support teaching and learning across the curriculum.

• Developing partnerships and communication between cultural organisations and schools.
• Teachers supporting other teachers and trainees.
• Incorporating creative approaches for all learning styles.
• Integrating sessions at cultural venues fully into programmes of study/learning journeys.
• Developing teachers skills and confidence to deliver their own sessions in cultural venues.
