Creative Consultation with Young People
APT/CCN 15th October 09, 10 am- 4.15 pm, BALTIC, Newcastle
This course is suitable for anyone who is looking to consult with young people through engagement in creative participatory activities. There is increasing pressure from national and local government, funders, organisations and young people themselves for organisations involved in youth arts activities to consult effectively. With this in mind, Artsplan has created this course to respond to this growing need and to inspire course participants to undertake meaningful, well structured, planned, engaging and dynamic consultation programmes with young people.
The course has been developed in partnership with a range of organisations across 9 English regions who have submitted case studies demonstrating the creative consultation techniques they have used with young people. The course is therefore based on the ENYAN ‘Creative Consultation Toolkit’ as well as a wealth of additional course materials.

Partnership Working and Youth Arts
APT/PW 5th November 09, 10 am- 4.15 pm, BALTIC, Newcastle
We are being encouraged to work together with other organisations that have different and sometimes complementary agendas. How can youth arts projects help to knit these partnerships together? This one day workshop shares practical techniques and approaches to working in partnerships with other organisations and individuals in order to achieve a successful youth arts project or event. Looking at the benefits of where, when and how to find the right partner, this session will offer a simple structure for both working in and developing your partnerships. Using an interactive approach to explore issues such as defining roles and setting realistic targets, this course will also cover troubleshooting for problem areas, including when and how to bow out gracefully if partnerships aren’t working.
