Resources
We are committed to working in a shared open source way with the cultural sector. As part of this commitment we have gathered here various learning tools that ALAS has developed over the years as free downloadable resources.
You’ll find artist guides, activity packs and safeguarding documents that you are welcome to download and make your own.
These resources are available for artists, scholars, activists and anyone interested in working creatively with their community.
