Arts Council Wales seeks diverse creatives

The Arts Council of Wales has announced the continuation of Cynefin: culturally and ethnically diverse Wales, a programme organised in partnership with the Welsh government.

The programme will expand to support a wider network of schools across Wales in devising and delivering creative collaborative projects.

Projects supported by the programme focus on areas including exploring identity in relation to growing up in Wales and understanding the history and development of the country as a culturally diverse society.

Other areas of focus include gaining awareness of the people, cultures and communities that make up contemporary Wales and exploring the past and present experiences and contributions of culturally and ethnic diverse people to the country.

The programme facilitates working directly with teachers to enhance the quality of teaching and learning. 

Arts Council Wales has put out a call for creative professionals from culturally and ethnically diverse backgrounds who want to work on the creative learning offer for schools within the network in either English or Welsh.

Professionals working in the arts, culture, heritage or creative industries are invited to apply until September 2 for an opportunity to develop their practices through the delivery of collaborative, creative projects in schools.
