Cultivator

The CCDNSW Cultivator initiative seeks to link up like-minded community cultural development workers, practitioners and artists to share ideas, generate projects, develop policy, inform planning and build relationships across sectors.

This is where you'll find a Cultivator group to suit your area of interest and expertise, seek out information such as news, events, resources, case studies and profiles of relevance, and join in the forum discussions to link up and sow seeds of ideas and inspiration.

The Cultivator initiative is run by Martha Jabour, Program Manager CCDNSW.

Juvenile Justice Cultivator Group

The focus of the Juvenile Justice Cultivator Group is to network, promote and support artists and artsworkers working with young detainees in Juvenile Justice Detention centres. These workers may include art teachers employed by the Department of Education and Training (DET) and artists directly employed by The Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ). Currently there is no communication network that regularly brings this sector together. CCDNSW Juvenile Justice Cultivator aims to deliver such a communication network.
