Expressive Arts -

WHO WE ARE.....

The Creative Links and Cultural Co-ordinators in Scottish Schools (CCISS) programmes were set up by the Scottish Arts Council and Scottish Executive to create links between the arts sector and formal and informal education settings.
These posts, both in local authorities and national organisations, support the development of a range of creative learning opportunities for young people in Scotland.
In local authorities they aim to enhance both the quantity and quality of arts, heritage and creative learning provision available to schools.

Creative Links Officers and Cultural Co-ordinators work closely with school staff, championing creativity and arts and developing innovative partnership initiatives, giving young people the chance to engage with professional artists and arts organisations.

Creative Links Officers and Cultural Co-ordinators may be able to help you with information and advice on:
• arts organisations • fundraising for your project • models and approaches • finding partners.
