Artsplan is thrilled to have recently developed a NEW Distance Learning course titled: Working Together- using the arts with young people.
Already a successful one-day workshop, the course provides an overview of the benefits of using the arts with young people, outside of formal education. The new Distance Learning version now provides greater flexibility and opportunities for those looking to develop their skills and knowledge in this area, with a lower price, one-on-one mentoring and extensive supporting material.
The course involves a combination of workbook exercises, self-evaluation and trainer/mentor time to be completed at your own pace over a period of 6 weeks. The one-on-one mentor time is more personal and practical, fitting in with existing commitments. Ideal for those new to using the arts with young people in any setting, the course will start with an exploration of the term ‘youth arts’, progressing towards developing an understanding of the key ingredients needed to run a successful youth arts project.
As Lesley Bennett, a previous participant enthuses: “The course was enjoyable, a positive mix of enabling me to use my creative side alongside the need for practical intelligent thoughts. A stimulating experience!.”
The course is available at a range of prices, depending on circumstance. The substantial supporting material includes the celebrated ‘Youth Arts Learning Passport’, your own workbook/log book to keep and a certificate of attendance. Overall, it is a package designed to offer greater flexibility within creative development. If the course is successful Artswork hope to be able to offer the full range of Artsplan courses within the distance learning format in the future.
