Creative Arts Circles

Reimagining Arts Education Through Creative Collaboration

Building Community. Empowering Creativity. Transforming Classrooms.

Creative Arts Circles is a vibrant initiative led by passionate arts educators who believe in the power of collaboration to enrich primary school arts education. Through dynamic writing circles, educators co-create engaging, diverse and high-quality units of work across five arts disciplines: Dance, Drama, Media Arts, Music, and Visual Arts.

Start exploring now – and become part of the circle.

What you will find here:

  • A growing library of free downloadable units of work designed to spark creativity and support meaningful learning.
  • Resources backed by educational research, with data collected during development and teaching used to inform best practice and academic publications.
  • Opportunities to join the CIRCLE – whether by teaching the units in your classroom or contributing your expertise to a writing circle.

Whether you are an educator, researcher or arts advocate, Creative Arts Circles invites you to explore, download and collaborate. Together, we are shaping the future of arts education!
