Hello, itโ€™s been a little while since we last spoke about PiCL, so we thought it was time to shine a light on what we doโ€ฆโ€‹
โ€‹
Weโ€™re Partners in Creative Learning (aka PiCL), and weโ€™re all about making learning more creative, engaging, and meaningful for children, young adults and teachers in the arts and creative studies. โ€‹
โ€‹
We love using creative tools, exploring fresh ideas, and teaming up with amazing artists, schools, and businesses across Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire to make a real impact on the next generation.โ€‹
โ€‹
Whether weโ€™re in classrooms, out in communities, or somewhere completely unexpected, collaboration is always at the heart of everything we do.โ€‹
