Learning through culture and the arts leads to creative thinking, confidence and problem solving – all skills that are prized by employers and which young people need.
Creativity is the highest level of thinking – it is personal, challenging and continuously developing.
Official statistics published reveal that the UK’s creative Industries, which includes the film, television and music industries, are now worth £71.4 billion per year to the UK economy – generating just over £8 million pounds an hour.
