About Creative Learning
The Welsh Government and Arts Council of Wales are collaborating on a major project to enhance the quality of creative learning in Wales’s schools. An ambitious programme of activity has been set out in Creative Learning through the arts – an action plan for Wales.
The Plan set out a joint implementation strategy that has enabled the Arts Council and Welsh Government to work together to implement the recommendations contained in the Arts in Education review report (Smith 2013). The plan has been successfully delivered over the last 10 years from 2015 – 2025 and the Welsh Government has agreed to continue to work in partnership with the Arts Council of Wales until 2028.
