A New Direction is London's flagship creative and cultural education agency.

New Shared Training & Employment Programme (STEP) provides entry level job in the arts and creative industries.

We are currently looking for two new Trustees to join A New Direction's board. Could one of them be you?

This Yearbook highlights the discussions, questions, activity and perspective generated by A New Direction’s 2016-17 Cultural Learning Community (now Cultural Leadership Community).

Browse our bank of research and resources - including classroom resources, teacher toolkits, films, research and case studies - all are available to view and download for free.

We support London schools to deliver and embed high-quality arts and cultural provision across their curriculum and whole school community.

We work with the cultural sector in London to ensure that all children and young people get the most out of London’s extraordinary creative and cultural offer.

Connected London is our response to the nationally driven, Cultural Education Challenge. It is our programme of support for local Cultural Education Partnerships, our own Connected Network, and a number of initiatives funded through our own 'London Cultural Education Challenge'.

We think that it is the right of all young Londoners -regardless of wealth, geography or luck, to be able to access and influence culture, and that the right platforms should be in place to identify and nourish young people’s creative talents.

We are always looking for creative organisations and businesses interested in providing real opportunities for talented young Londoners.
