Using the Arts to Develop Aspiration, Leadership and Potential

30th of September, 9.45am - 4pm

Artsplan, the training and publications department of Artswork and the in-house training provider of ENYAN (English National Youth Arts Network) are pleased to announce the launch of a NEW Youth Arts Training Course: ‘Using the Arts to Develop Aspiration, Leadership and Potential’.

This new course is being run as a full day course 9.45 am- 4 pm on 30th September 2010, Paddington Arts, London.

The one-day course, ‘Using the Arts to develop Aspiration, Leadership and Potential’, has been 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 Preston, Artsplan 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. Prices for each course, which include lunch and refreshments, range from £110 to £150, with limited bursaries available.

32 Woodfield Road, London, W9 2BE
