Department of Education / 2023 NSW Arts Unit Disability Initiatives Sponsorship EOI - 2023-TAU-DI-SP

The NSW Department of Education is seeking expressions of interest from organisations with capacity to provide financial or in-kind support for a range of Arts Unit initiatives specifically developed to cater for students with disability. The department’s Disability Strategy sets out the plan for an education system that meets the needs of children and young people with disability. Programs offered by The Arts Unit support this priority area.

Arts education promotes creativity, communication skills and self-expression, and is an important part of the curriculum for students with disability. Offering support for the Arts Unit’s Disability Initiatives creates viable opportunities for sponsors to further enhance these programs as well as engage with students, teachers and school communities across NSW.

The NSW Department of Education partners with many organisations whose support further develops state-wide education programs and adds significant value to student learning experiences. Our partners contribute cash and in-kind support to a range of ongoing learning programs as well as educational initiatives. The department in return provides profiling and other benefits.

Sponsorship packages are available for the following designation levels.

• Disability Initiatives Partner

• Value-In-Kind Partners

We can also work with you to tailor a sponsorship package that meets your organisation's objectives and preferred level of investment while adding value to our programs.

To receive further information on this opportunity or discuss the range of investment and benefit packages available, please contact Sandra Copeman on 0408 696 571 or by email at sandra.copeman@det.nsw.edu.au .

Please note, expressions of interest close at 6:00pm on Monday 17 July, 2023.
