Creativity Week
Schools and Artists celebrating creativity across the East Riding
Thanks for taking part!
This page now refers to the week we had 21st – 25th October 2024
What is Creativity Week?
Creativity Week is a new initiative coordinated by East Riding’s Cultural Education Partnership. We’re inviting all local schools to get involved in celebrating creativity and providing new opportunities for children and young people.
There will be a programme that all schools can join – digital resources will include live streamed concerts and theatrical performances, talks with well-known musicians, artists and curators to provide inspiration and sharing of new skills. Physical resources will include activity packs for KS1-4 developed by creative and heritage professionals.
Cultural institutions will also open their doors with free events for local schools, enabling local children to see high quality professional events and build connections between schools and their local venues.
Here’s a taste of the events we had
