| Description | Creative Clusters was an arts in education programme run by Junction Arts in the District of Bolsover. It aimed to promote active and sustainable partnerships with schools and the local community, involving training and skill-sharing tailored to address local issues. Junction Arts' procedures encouraged a consistent approach to evaluation and reporting.
The programme was delivered in three distinct ways:
1. Creswell Creative Cluster, centred on the infant/nursery school and junior school.
2. Shirebrook Youth Connect, centred on Shirebrook School, financially supported by East Midlands Arts lottery programme, Derbyshire County Council Treasure Chest and the Resolving Differences programme.
3. Rural Artists in Residence (RARe), providing artists in residence in specific communites or school hub clusters.
