Creative Scotland is the new national leader for Scotland’s arts, screen and creative industries. It’s our job to help Scotland’s creativity shine at home and abroad.

We will invest in talented people and exciting ideas, develop the creative industries and champion everything that’s good about Scottish creativity.

Scotland boasts an incredible range of talent, from award-winning directors and writers to widely recognised actors and internationally renowned architects and digital companies. As a result of the wealth of indigenous talent, Scotland produces a huge volume of home-grown productions and products each year.

We think Scotland’s arts, culture and creative industries are worth shouting about. We’ll lead the shouting.

Introducing children and young people to the breadth of creative work around Scotland is an essential part of our role. We work with Learning and Teaching Scotland and other partners on exciting and forward-thinking initiatives to unlock young people’s creative potential.  


Showcase: Moving Image Education

Moving Image Education refers to learning and teaching practices which develop moving image media literacy. Moving image media literacy means 'reading’ and 'writing’ moving images, understanding, enjoying and sharing them.  

We work in partnership with key organisations and providers: The Scottish Government, Learning and Teaching Scotland, Scottish Qualifications Authority, Skills Development Scotland, Universities and local authorities, to use Moving Image Education to help realise the aspirations of Scotland’s new curriculum, a Curriculum for Excellence.

We are promoting and facilitating the development of moving image education through advocacy, in schools, teacher education and training, in educational contexts outside schools, in research and resource developments, especially online resources.
