Worldfest

Green TV is an imaginative and exciting programme of environmental engagement through the arts, raising awareness of and increasing public access to key areas of outstanding natural heritage within the Tees Valley. Green TV is funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and managed by Tees Valley Arts in partnership with local wildlife organisations.  The project will place 10 artists in 20 schools exploring 10 sites over 2 years.

TVA believes that creative participation can help people of all ages and abilities to learn new skills and grow in confidence.

 TVA works with schools and education partners to design and deliver innovative programmes of learning for different groups - for the most able students, or for those who are disengaged from learning, or for those whose life challenges or behaviour mean that they don't always respond well in the classroom.

The stART Project is a partnership between Tees Valley Arts and Middlesbrough Youth Support Service, aimed at hard to engage young people, 17–19 years. stART offers a package of creative activities and learning that will provide young people with a range of skills and social tools to utilise in life.

The TVA Inclusion programme reflects our belief that participating in or being an audience member at creative and cultural activities is good for everyone – good for learning, good for physical and mental wellbeing, good for enjoyment and happiness, good for self-esteem, good for self expression, and good for bringing individuals and communities together.

WorldFest is the annual festival run by Tees Valley Arts in partnership with the African Arts Association, which celebrates diversity in the Tees Valley, through a mix of headline and community events. The festival began – as WinterFest – in 2006, and headline acts have included winners of BBC World Music Award and many legendary reggae performers including the late and great Gregory Isaacs, Aswad, Horace Andy, Dennis Bovell and Misty in Roots.
