‘Swale CEP is a vital and valuable network in our local area. As a team of local artists working in schools, it really helps us to make meaningful partnerships with teachers and educators. The CEP, especially the school network, provides a platform for us to invite more young people to engage with our work.’

‘Being part of the Swale CEP has been an inspiring and enriching experience which has helped me connect with other schools, artists and art organisations. In my role as art lead I have appreciated the CPD opportunities which have re-invigorated my creativity and positively impacted the pupils I teach.’

“It’s so important to have networks such as Swale CEP, which allow all those with the common goal of enriching and improving young people’s lives through the arts to work together and collaborate more strategically at a local level, and thus achieving so much more.”

‘The Swale CEP is a fantastic catalyst for fostering partnerships between the cultural sector and education. These collaborations enable more young people across Swale to access opportunities that help them discover their own creativity as a part of their education.’ 

‘The Swale CEP is an important network that we value being a member of as it exists to make connections. It connects schools, artists, and organisations with the shared aim of co-creating wonderful, enriching and empowering arts projects and opportunities for the young people in the region. As an arts organisation it has provided an invitation to communicate with schools in Swale and consequently create projects with transformative results for all involved.’
