Learning
Find out more about the Cultural Learning programme at Bradford 2025, from learning resources to CPD for teachers and educators.
Children, young people, teachers, educators… Everyone was invited to be part of Bradford’s year in the spotlight.
The Bradford 2025 learning programme offered something for everyone in education across Bradford District.
We designed workshops, events and activities to support wellbeing, attainment and career development. We supported the curriculum with creative and heritage-focused activities for learners of all ages. And we offered continuing professional development (CPD) opportunities for teachers and educators, with comprehensive lesson plans and free resources related to Bradford 2025.
On this page you’ll find Cultural Learning stories from 2025 – and more ways to get involved.
