Creative Learning Partnerships provides the opportunity for Victorian schools to partner with creative professionals or arts and cultural organisations. It involves school communities in creative partnership projects while providing students, teachers and creative professionals with diverse and challenging learning experiences. This residency program supports schools to explore how creativity can enhance and advance education outcomes across the curriculum from Foundation to Year 10, including VET and VCAL.
The Creative Learning Partnerships program incorporates successful elements of the three previous Education Partnerships programs: Artists in Schools, Virtual Creative Professionals in Schools and Extended School Residencies.
The Creative Learning Partnership program allows schools broader, flexible access to Victoria's creative professionals as either individuals or arts organisation teams, via face to face sessions or virtual communication platforms.
