Creative Partnerships

We can’t take the credit for Creative Partnerships. It is the government’s flagship programme that provides children and young people opportunities to do creative things. We do, however, think that it is a good idea which is why we have been involved with Creative Partnerships for the last five years.

During which time we have organised training programmes and conferences, carried out research into how libraries are working with Creative Partnerships and commissioned a study by Demos into young people, reading and libraries. You can download the publications and podcasts of our work to date from Resources.

The Reader/Writer Mash-up Seimnar podcast is coming soon.

“This project has taught us that exposure to a wide range of books and other resources is really the way to capture the imagination of both teachers and children, which is the surest way to develop their interest in reading.” Jane Choules, Project lead in Bristol Libraries
