Background, orientation and purpose
ISAACS is a consultancy whose values are fundamentally rooted in supporting the professional growth
of groups and individuals within a range of cultural communities. ISAACS provides specialist support in
areas of lifelong learning, including arts in education, online learning, continuing professional
development, and learning from European practice.
ISAACS’ philosophy is about sharing skills, improving practice, and achieving a greater understanding
of each other’s cultures. In both policy and practice, ISAACS is wholly committed to equality, diversity
and inclusion. We aim to bring about cultural change which affects people’s lives, raises standards and
enhances all our futures.
Objectives:
- to build sustainability, integrate good practice and provide partnership working at many levels;
- to support communities and their partners in pioneering cultural learning networks which directly
meet their needs;
- to build commitment to, and integration of, lifelong learning as a part of everyday culture.
