THE ARTS MATTER!

This week, I met with the colleagues from the partners and schools who are bringing the Arts, Culture and Sports sectors alive for some impressive young people at Firth Park Academy, Stocksbridge High School and Westfield School.

We are developing the Cutlers 'Made in Sheffield' Arts, Culture and Sports programme to equip these young ambassadors for the world of work by helping them develop the skills and attributes employers, in the arts, culture and sports sectors, have told us that their employees need to be successful.

We have already held two very successful sessions with the young people attending a team building day at Sheffield Wednesday and a takeover event at Weston Park Museum and this term the focus shifts to the Sheffield Theatres. It is another great programme, supported by some fantastic partners including Sheffield Wednesday Football Club, Sheffield United Football Club, Museums Sheffield, Sheffield Theatres, The Site Gallery, Sanctuary Housing, Park View Residential Care Home and Ignite Imaginations.
