Cultural Campus Producer Up to £25,000 fee – Four days a week for a 12 month freelance contract. Possibility of extension subject to funding. About the Project – Cultural Campus For a place About a place With a place Derby Theatre is lead partner, working very closely with QUAD, Déda and three pilot schools in Derby to create a new “Cultural Service” for the city. Vision: We want to help young people re-imagine and shape a city in which they want to live, work and thrive. We want to support students’ ambitions and the development of their skills for the next stage of their lives Mission: To build sustainable and resource-rich connections between schools, communities, cultural venues, local businesses and other local organisations to meet the learning needs of young people. Project Principles: Collaboration – achieving more together Equality – ensuring everyone can achieve Innovation - Learning in new ways The Mighty Creatives, along with the cultural partners have put significant investment into the development of Derby’s Cultural Campus. We are in the early stages of exploring the notion that our city, rich in cultural assets can provide schools with an unprecedented cultural and creative service; a service that is co-produced with schools. The cultural organisations in the city are close both geographically and in the way we work together. By working together in this way, our ambition is to create a collective offer of scale and substance and where students can learn in new and engaging ways. We want to avoid duplication of service and we aim to use digital technology to connect the requirements of schools with new cultural solutions. At the centre of this collective service sits the opportunity for schools to work on real-life projects that help to shape their city and at the same time enable students to develop employability skills for their futures and the future of Derby. The aim is to build a network of organisations who wish to contribute to and benefit from the programme, including businesses, creative industries, smaller organisations, schools and individuals.
