Using the Arts to Develop Leadership, Aspiration and Potential

2nd October 2009
Plymouth Music Zone
9.45 am- 4 pm

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 Leadership, Aspiration and Potential’.

As with all new Artsplan courses, we conduct a pilot session and use the valuable feedback from participants to develop and shape our courses. This new course is being run as a full day course 9.45 am- 4 pm on 2nd October 2009 at Plymouth Music Zone.

The one-day course, ‘Using the Arts to raise Aspiration, Leadership and Potential’, has been created as part of the legacy for the 2009 ENYAN Campaign ‘Young Arts Leaders’ 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, comments: “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. Artsplan is subsidising the cost of the training in return for a short 20 minute feedback session with participants at the end of the day. The cost of training has therefore been reduced to £75* (normal training charges vary from £150- £110) which includes all training resources, lunch, refreshments and certification.
