7. New Local Partnerships

15. Connecting teachers to industry

17. New qualifications for cultural practitioners

1. Broad Cultural Education for all children

What is your view of our current cultural menu for children? How does it serve young

people? What do young people want and need? How do you know? Please present how

you think young people perceive the current cultural menu in the region. What’s

missing? This is not restricted to provision. You may also choose to identify

infrastructural and engagement dishes!

5. A Cultural Education Passport

The passport service is new to culture. Design a cultural passport for children and young

people in the East Midlands. Consider how young people might engage with its creation.

When and how is it used? How are young people supported to use it? What does it do

for the young people who use it?

7. New Local Partnerships

Partnership jigsaw. From your perspective, what does the current partnership jigsaw look

like? Following on from the recommendation, think specifically about partnerships

between cultural organisations, schools and young people. How do/should we share

resources, expertise and ideas? Identify any missing pieces too.

15. Connecting teachers to industry

Imagine a year in the life of a teacher with artistic talent (as described in the review).

From your experience, how best can teachers engage with the cultural sector? How can

their creative practice be supported and celebrated? How could we support their talent

to flourish and infuse their professional life? What is the role of young people here?

17. New qualifications for cultural practitionersWe have great strength in local practitioners. If we were to imagine a ‘super-

practitioner’ what qualifications would support them to work well with children and

young people? Please create a super-practitioner, and describe the best possible

training and qualifications for them. Think too about the needs of the education and

broader cultural sectors and what they might look for. Consider all the possibilities; for

example, initial training, networking, and professional development.
