Working in partnership
Many City Lit students have benefited from our various partnerships. This includes our Percussion Orchestra, a music project in collaboration with the Royal Academy of Music. Our work with Books Beyond Word has also allowed our students to explore wellbeing, relationships and employment through visual stories.
