Partners in Creative Learning (PICL) design and deliver creative learning projects in schools and communities, in classrooms and public spaces, community venues or pop-up shops and online.  With 13 years of experience, we design innovative projects and work that use creativity, culture and art to make a positive change and communicate messages.  

Our mission is to facilitate learning with all that we work with, using creative tools and techniques and exciting and fresh collaborations.

Stoke Cultural Education Partnership  

PiCL and Stoke on Trent Cultural Education Partnership have worked together since its inception, supporting the strategic partnership and co-delivering programmes, such as Loving Learning Through Creativity. Stoke CEP is a voluntary collective of creative organisations, artists and educators who have worked together to further and improve the creative education offer within the city. Through sector and youth consultation we have developed and delivered programmes with multiple partners and stakeholders that have focused on youth leadership, creative careers, teacher CPD, and developing a creative passport for young people in the city. 

In April 2023 PiCL and Stoke Cultural Education Partnership merged and joined the Arts Council England National Portfolio, from 2023-2026, with the organisation restructuring to meet its new needs, which includes delivering the NPO programme and Appetite activity.
