Cultural Co-ordinator Programme

The 2007-09 Cultural Co-ordinator Programme is funded by the Scottish Government and managed by the Scottish Arts Council. It is a second, enhanced phase of the Cultural Co-ordinators in Scottish schools initiative which was established to offer opportunities for young people (both within and out with school hours) to see and take part in a broad range of cultural experiences including the performing and creative arts, literature, heritage, moving image and architecture.

Who are we?

Scottish Borders Council has a team of three Cultural Co-ordinators.

As manager of the Cultural Co-ordinator team Lisa will be building key strategic networks and partnership working, and will liaise closely with the Scottish Arts Council to monitor and evaluate the programme.
