Professional Statement
The Education and Community Programme is being developed as an integrated programme that enhances and compliments the existing dlr Arts Programme. It is highly progressive and developmental in nature and since its inception in 2007 has grown strategically and steadily to ensure future sustainability and active engagement for all involved.
We have developed partnerships with external service providers, agencies and departments within the local authority. This ensures that the appropriate resources and expertise are channelled where they are most required and that duplications are kept to a minimum.
