NEW Using the Arts to develop Leadership, Aspiration and Potential

APT/LAP 2nd October 09, Plymouth Music Zone, Plymouth, 9.45 am- 4 pm

This one day course looks to demonstrate how the arts can be used as a mechanism to develop young people’s leadership skills, aspiration and potential. 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. It will make the case for why we should be investing time and resources into providing creative opportunities for young people that can engage and empower them. Particular focus is given to initiatives, projects and programmes that are aimed at nurturing future cultural leaders.

Artsplan is piloting this course in the South West region and is therefore subsidising course fees on this occasion. Prices for this course will be fixed at £75 per place inclusive of all training resources, lunches, refreshments and certification, discounts and offers do not apply to this reduced course fee.

At the end of the day Artsplan will require participants to contribute to a 30 minute evaluation in order for us to gather essential participant feedback.
