Action Mats create resources for primary and early years children focussing on movement skills and active learning.
£5m to bring performing arts organisations and schools together
Five Youth Performance Partnerships will be created in England to give young people access to the performing arts.
Arts organisations will be able to come into schools to teach practical performance skills both on and off stage, including drama, dance, art, creative writing, lighting, sound and set design.
Primary and secondary schools will also be linked up with playwrights to give children the opportunity to perform new works by up and coming writers.
The Youth Performance Partnerships will be delivered by Arts Council England over three academic years and will reach 10,000 young people.
The Arts Council will select one partnership in the North, the Midlands, South West, South East and London, and prioritise places where not enough young people have the chance to take part in performance.
