The Creative Sector Toolkit was created by Burberry and West Yorkshire Combined Authority to give teachers practical resources for inspiring young people about careers in the creative industries.
Students will work in small teams to complete a wide range of tasks in order to stage the biggest and best festival ever! Working alongside leading practitioners, a series of free resources, lesson plans, films and activities have been created to bust the myths surrounding careers in the creative sector and provide a wider understanding of the less traditional, yet in-demand, roles.
Resources and activities focus on Key Stage 3 and 4 national curriculum content in three core subjects; Maths, English and Science. The programme helps schools to meet Gatsby benchmarks 2, 4 and 5. Delivered as either tutor time activities, across a drop down day or in individual subject time, each activity will take 20 – 30 minutes to complete and can be carried out in any order.
By using the toolkit, you can help students connect their classroom learning with real-world opportunities, challenge common myths about creative careers, and show them that the industry offers far more than the jobs they might already know about.
