We are a strategic network working in partnership for the creative growth of young people in Leeds.
What is Leeds33?
Leeds33 (our cultural education partnership) is here to advocate for cultural education for all young people in the city.
- We forge partnerships and networks so members can be more joined-up and work in a more informed and collaborative way.
- We promote the work our members and what they do for children and young people in Leeds.
- We look to be a collective voice, which can shout louder about what the value of creative and cultural learning to those who can listen and affect change.
- We celebrate all the amazing work that happens in our organisations, schools and neighbourhoods.
- We support the development of that work and share better practice in the city.
