This November the Cultural Learning Alliance are leading an innovative week of linked events across the country to celebrate the richness and strength of cultural learning in England and ignite debate about key issues across the education and cultural sectors.

To ensure you have maximum opportunities to get involved, no matter where you live in the country, The Big Link-Up format is a unique concept that will involve four core routes of participation:

• The Big Link-Up National Event – Bringing together cultural learning leaders and decision-makers to discuss how to maintain and further this activity for children and young people
• The Link-Up Events – Inviting cultural learning supporters to organise concurrent Link-Up Events in their local areas to bring cultural practitioners, teachers and leaders together, linked to the national event
• Assembly Events – Inviting schools across the country to celebrate cultural learning and link-in to the conversation by organising their own Assembly Events
• Live Stream – The final route of participation is to watch The Big Link-Up National Event online

This collection of events will link-up to produce a week-long conversation that connects culture and learning across the country providing a nationwide platform for The Big Link-Up.
