4th April 2012, 10 am- 4.15 pm, Kala Sangam, Bradford

Artswork is pleased to be delivering the popular one day course - ‘Creative Consultation with Young People’ – on the 4th April 2012, 10 am- 4.15 pm in partnership with Kala Sangam in Bradford, as part of the Artsplan Professional Development Programme.

Artswork is the largest provider of specialist youth arts training courses and publications in the UK and all training and publications are written and supported by experienced youth arts specialists, currently involved in direct project work with young people.

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.

Jay-Michelle Mendivil, Programme Manager - Artswork, commented: “Through our research we have now proven that utilising creative methods can really encourage and motivate young people to take part in consultation activities. Artswork's course promotes the use of the arts as an effective tool for consultation and raises people's awareness of creative techniques”.

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 per person available for this course. This fee includes refreshments, lunch and certification.
