We have worked hard to provide you links to a selection of relevant organisations and networks, working in the field of creative/arts education, arts and culture, education, youth and related. Some of them offer useful resources, news/newsletters, events or links to more organisations. We have separated these into geographical categories.

Please note that this is not an exhaustive list, neither a list of organisations/networks necessarily linked with ICEnet or its members in any way; merely an overview of potentially interesting sources for ICEnet members.
