Creative Learning and Young People

Creative Learning

We want to be a learning organisation and encourage others to do the same. Learning is fundamental to ensuring that future generations are equipped to build on today’s successes as well as innovate on their own terms.

CashBack for Creativity

CashBack for Creativity is part of the Scottish Government’s CashBack for Communities initiative, which has seen over £45 million recovered through the Proceeds of Crime Act, reinvested back into communities to benefit Scotland’s young people.

Scotland's Creative Learning Plan

Scotland’s Creative Leaning Plan is the result of work by a partnership of organisations working across Scotland in education and creativity and sets out an ambitious vision for creativity in education over the next 10 years.

Creative Learning Review

Creative Scotland undertook a review of our creative learning remit during 2016/17. This review intended to support Creative Scotland and the wider sector to develop a shared understanding of creative learning so that it can be effectively embedded across all of our work and across the work of the organisations we fund. The review will inform Creative Scotland’s future priorities for work in this area over the next five years.
