<h2>A new arts partnership programme is beginning in schools and kura this term with 34 creative projects underway throughout New Zealand.</h2>
<p>&#8220;The Creatives in Schools programme involves a wide range of artists and creative practitioners sharing their specialist knowledge and creative practice with students and ākonga,&#8221; Deputy Secretary, Early Learning and Student Achievement, Ellen MacGregor-Reid says.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>&#8220;The projects range from contemporary dance to ceramic sculpture, Māori fibre weaving to digital mixed media.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;This creative learning experience aims to improve students’ core competencies in communication, collaboration and creative thinking, enhance their wellbeing and raise their awareness of creative careers,&#8221; Ms MacGregor-Reid says.</p>
<p>The programme was announced as part of Budget 2019 which provided $7.16 million funding for more than 300 creative projects from 2020 to 2023.</p>
<p>Applications for the second round of 72 projects to be undertaken next year will open in June 2020 and close in August.</p>
