Using the Arts to Develop Aspiration, Leadership and Potential

20th June 2012, 9.45 am- 4 pm, SoundWorks, Bristol

The one-day course, ‘Using the Arts to develop Aspiration, Leadership and Potential’, was created as part of the legacy for the 2009 ENYAN Campaign and has been developed following a period of research conducted by ENYAN, throughout the 9 English regions into how participation in cultural activities can have a significant impact on young people’s development and can give young people the chance to develop important life skills such as creativity, confidence, self discipline, effective communication and the ability to work in teams.

This course is suitable for anyone, professional or voluntary, seeking to use or develop the arts in their work with young people. It looks to demonstrate how the arts can be used as a mechanism to develop young people’s leadership skills, aspiration and potential. It celebrates inspirational examples of young people who have excelled through engagement in youth-led arts projects, continue to achieve well and are an inspiration to both the youth and cultural sectors at large. The course also benefits from being part facilitated by young people who have taken on leadership roles within a creative setting.

Rachel Hall, Professional Development Manager, commented: “This course makes the case for why we should be investing time and resources into providing creative opportunities for young people that can engage and empower them.”

All participants will receive a certificate of attendance upon successful completion of the course and a wealth of practical resources. There is a special rate fee of £75 for this course.
