Training
We provide a range of creative training courses which can be tailored to meet your needs. We devise and deliver all kinds of training events: short workshops, full length courses or major conferences.
We aim to enable adults to develop the skills and awareness to facilitate children’s creative expression. Our courses are fun and informal, they involve a lot of participation and not much in the way of writing or lectures.
Our courses are attended by artists, playworkers, early years practitioners, childminders, youth workers, teachers and anyone else who wants to work creatively with children and young people.
We offer training in two ways:
- Our own in-house programme of training which runs each academic term - this is open for individuals to book onto and is part-subsidised through our Arts Council England funding. For details of what’s on offer, please check our In-House Training page.
- Our programme of ‘off the shelf’ courses which can be booked for groups of people and tailored to meet the specific needs of an organisation or team. For details of these courses please go to our creative courses page.
