Engaging young people in world-class arts and culture is one of the major goals of Digital Theatre+. That’s why we’ve partnered with Artsmark to support schools and education settings working towards their Artsmark award.
Designed to celebrate an institution’s commitment to cultural education, and help embed arts, culture and creativity across the whole curriculum, the Artsmark award is the only creative quality standard for schools and education settings in England. Accredited by Arts Council England, the award supports the health and wellbeing of pupils, and ensures that every young person can access a diverse and high quality cultural education.
