Professional Development
We run a range of professional development courses, and offer subsidised prices on selected courses for South East organisations.
We believe all children and young people have the right to experience the richness of the arts, both in and outside of school. We bridge together the work of arts and cultural organisations, schools and communities.
Since 2012, we have been part of a national network of Arts Council England-funded Bridge organisations. We deliver Arts Award and Artsmark in education settings, provide professional development training to support you in your work with children and young people, and produce resources, case studies, and research that paints a comprehensive picture of what’s happening across the South East.
