CPD and Consultancy Services
Strengthen your organisation’s skills and engagement with children and young people by booking in-house training tailored to your needs or through our open courses.
Our work with arts, culture and heritage organisations
Access to arts, culture and heritage should be a right, not a privilege. That's why we work with organisations to help increase their engagement with children and young people across the country.
We provide training and resources, equipping you with the skills to build and enhance your programming and outreach for the under-25s.
The role of arts, heritage and cultural organisations is crucial – together it’s our job to ensure that the future is as vibrant, equal, and creative as possible, and there are many ways we can work towards this shared goal.

Connecting with Culture
The quick, easy way for schools to connect with arts and cultural organisations
After speaking to teachers across the South East region, we learned of the barriers they face when looking for arts and cultural activities for pupils. Frequently mentioned was the lack of time to find new opportunities, awareness of what kinds of things were available in their area, and the confidence in the quality of the activities on offer.
Connectingwithculture.com works primarily as a search engine, allowing education professionals to search and filter a large list of arts and cultural organisations to find what they are looking for. Add your own organisation to the site to share details of your education offer, location, and any additional information regarding age suitability and specific needs they cater for. Teacher’s will be able to view your organisations profile, and get in contact with your directly.
Teachers and professionals also have the opportunity to leave reviews of specific cultural experiences, helping build our community of word-of-mouth recommendations – something teachers have told us they really value.
