Curious Minds (Staff CPD, Information & Resources)

Curious Minds are an ambitious charity that works to bring about positive and lasting change. They provide strategic support to the cultural education workforce and deliver learning and development programmes that help diversify and professionalise the field of cultural education. They use the terms ‘Backbone Organisation’ and ‘Field Building Catalyst’ to describe how they work across multiple sectors to support, develop, champion and mobilise the cultural education workforce to achieve collective impact.

They achieve national and international reach but focus their work in the North of England. The team draws expertise from across the education, culture, public and private sectors.

Curious Minds is an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation, which means they receive funding from taxpayers to help ensure all children and young people have access to the transformative benefits of creativity and culture.
