What is a Cultural Partner?
A Cultural Partner is an organisation that opens itself up to schools through live, virtual connection. You might share a collection, a building, a performance, a story, a scientific wonder, or the workings of democracy. Whatever makes you special, you can bring it to a classroom anywhere on Earth.
You are not only registering for a one-day event. You are joining a global, school-facing cultural learning network, with the chance to be discovered and booked by schools all year.
During the event
Earthrise:Live 2026
Offer live sessions to schools around the main connection day, Thursday 19 November 2026, the global moment inspired by World Children's Day.
