The Cultural Learning Alliance (CLA) are leading an ambitious platform of events across the country to highlight the importance of all children and young people having meaningful access to culture in this difficult economic climate.

CapeUK are hosting a FREE regional BIG LINK UP EVENT in Leeds and we would like to invite you to join the national debate on Tuesday 23 November 2010, between 2pm – 5pm at WYP First Floor, 6 St Peter's Building, St Peter's Square, Leeds, LS9 8AH

We understand that this is very short notice, but it is an invaluable opportunity to bring together cultural, creative and educational leaders from across the region. It is important that we have a collective voice to demonstrate, celebrate and debate the importance of cultural learning. This event will be a national platform to advocate to the Government and ensure access to cultural learning for children and young people.
