The Cultural Learning Alliance and the Case for Cultural Learning
Presenter: Lizzie Crump, The Cultural Learning Alliance

Lizzie's session introduced ImagineNation- the Case for Cultural Learning- a document which sets out why cultural learning is valuable and important. It draws on the most robust evidence and arguments for cultural learning as well as including an inspiring narrative, quotes and case studies from Cultural Learning colleagues.

  ImagineNation The Case for Cultural Learning

Delegates voiced a general concern and unhappiness that major changes to school curriculum for arts subjects will lead to reduced arts input in schools and consequent diminution in cultural provision across the board, including take up of arts education at University level. There was a keen interest in how the recent National Curriculum Review will be heeded, given the positive response it gives to the role of arts in the school curriculum.
