Creative Cultural Partnerships

We are thrilled to be kicking off our Arts Council England funded project ‘Creative Cultural Partnerships’ which will enable us to work with cultural organisations here in the North West – libraries and museums – to develop early years music sessions. These sessions will follow a shared delivery model where staff in our partner organisations will work alongside Note Weavers to deliver sessions, building skills, knowledge and confidence to be able to deliver sessions independently. We will also work to connect the cultural organisations with their music hubs/services to develop partnerships and sustainability into their music provision for early years.
