Arts Connect – Our Guiding Principles Arts Connect works with a variety of
partners including education, arts, culture and local government in the West
Midlands to ensure that all children and young people can benefit from
engagement in high quality arts and cultural activities. We believe that
engagement with the arts and culture in all its forms, the opportunity to take
part, to create and produce culture supports young people to build the social
and cultural capital that enables them to thrive. It builds creative skills that
are valued by employers and can provide pathways into careers in the creative
industries. We know that cultural opportunities for young people are not equal
and this correlates with post code, socio-economic disadvantage, rural
isolation, ethnicity, family status and disability, amongst other factors.
