Creative Schools & Communities

An arts education helps build academic skills and increase academic performance, while also providing alternate opportunities to reward the skills of children who learn differently'

                                     Gavin Newson, Governor of California

Through the Creative Schools & Communities program, Corrugated Iron Youth Arts works in partnership with schools and communities across the Top End, creating custom-built education projects in remote, regional and urban settings. 

​

Each project is tailor-made and results in both short term projects and long term residencies. We create a safe environment of inclusivity that supports educators, families and youth services by responding to the diverse needs and energy of young people. 

​

How it happens

Incorporating the curriculum within art forms and collaborating with community artists and youth workers gives us endless and varied creative ideas to work with.
