LULEÅ CULTURE SCHOOL

The Luleå Culture School is a qualified resource for all of the city´s schools with activities for preschool children through high school students. Our mission is to increase the integration of the aesthetic subjects into the school’s daily work. In addition to our teachers in music, dance, drama, media and art, we also have an administrator, a production assistant, a technician and of course, a director.

All our activities are offered free of charge and without auditions.

We meet approximately 13000 students every year.

The Luleå Culture School was chosen as the Culture School of the Year 2009 by the Swedish Music Council which represents more than 60 different music agencies, institutions and organizations. The Swedish Music Council stated that the Luleå Culture School is characterized by an exceptional accessibility and closeness, by initiative and inclusion, and by flexibility and sensitivity. The Luleå Culture School has a strong political support in the municipality and is constantly working towards the future without losing the advantages of tradition.
