Cultivating Creativity: A study of the Sydney Opera House’s Creative Leadership in Learning program in schools

To understand the impact of the Creative Leadership In Learning (CLIL) program, the Sydney Opera House and Australia Council for the Arts undertook a collaborative research project called Cultivating Creativity.

The research aims to understand the impact of the CLIL program within schools on both learning and wider community engagement. It explores the relevance of the program and the application of the lessons learned to the wider education and creative sectors.

Drawing on interviews conducted with principals and teachers from participating schools, and data co-created with the Sydney Opera House CLIL team and its artists, the research found that CLIL had a wide range of positive impacts on students, schools, artists and communities.
