Closing date: 9 August 2024
We’re looking for a group of educators from a range of backgrounds to join Bradford 2025’s Cultural Learning Steering Group.
This is a voluntary opportunity open to education professionals currently delivering learning activities in Bradford District.
This steering group will support our team in developing a cultural learning offer that is accessible and inclusive to all educators and learners, supporting the legacy of increased cultural opportunity for children and young people in Bradford and delivering positive impacts on wellbeing, skills, opportunities and learning.
We want to gather expertise across the educational spectrum, from early years to further education, including formal teaching in schools, home education, alternative provision, and specialist SEND knowledge. The steering group will serve as a crucial link between Bradford 2025 and the education sector, ensuring our initiatives meet the sector’s specific needs.
