Curious Minds

Curious Minds exists to improve the lives of children and young people by increasing opportunities for their active participation in arts and culture. We do this by connecting schools and other providers of children’s services with a vibrant offer of cultural education and creative learning opportunities, to create the conditions where quality and collaboration flourish. We are proud to have been serving the North West of England as Arts Council England’s Bridge organisation since 2012. As leaders of the Cultural Education Challenge in the North West of England, our goals are: - To create access to high quality arts and culture for ALL children and young people. - To enable creative collaboration between the cultural and education sectors. - To work with schools, HEIs and cultural organisations to test and incubate innovative solutions to cultural and creative education. - To strengthen and deliver sustainable employment pathways into the cultural and creative industries for more young people. Our team includes specialists from across the worlds of culture, education and children’s services, and we are deeply committed to enabling creative and inclusive practice for the benefit of all children.
