Are you a secondary teacher who is ready for some cross curricular dimensional travel? You are invited to buddy up with another teacher from your school who works in a different subject area and take part in CPD as part of our BALTIC Buddies scheme.

The Scheme aims to support teachers in adapting to the new KS3 curriculum. Whether you are already initiated or wish to join us for the first time, you can take part in artist-led, issue based workshops which reveal how contemporary art can be used as a starting point for critical and creative thinking, spanning and uniting different subject areas.

Supported by:
