    Creative Learning Partnerships (CLP) provides support to Victorian schools to engage a creative professional or organisation to undertake a creative partnership project at the school.  It provides students, teachers and creative professionals with diverse and challenging learning experiences. This residency program encourages schools to explore how creativity can enhance and advance education outcomes across the curriculum from Foundation to Year 10, including VET and VCAL.

    The CLP program replaces Creative Victoria’s previous Education Partnerships programs: Artists in Schools, Virtual Creative Professionals in Schools and Extended School Residencies, and incorporates successful elements of these programs.

    The CLP program allows schools broader, flexible access to Victoria's creative professionals as either individuals or creative organisation teams, via face to face sessions or virtual communication platforms.

    ** If you have received funding through this program and your project has been impacted by coronavirus (COVID-19), please contact program staff listed below.**
