Creative Training

Hi,

The Bishopsgate Institute and the arts organisation Emergency Exit Arts are running a free creative training for young people aged 18 - 25yrs. It gives young people the chance to work with a team of professionals and explore the themes of democracy and citizenship and then go on to design professional exhibitions and workshops for schools.

The first phase of the project is training with the chance to explore new topics, make friends and increase confidence, while the second part offers 8 people the chance for a paid role and work placements with some London-based creative, heritage and arts organisations. 

The project is funded by Heritage Lottery Fund and is set to be an extremely interesting project.

I’ve attached some information about the event and more can be seen online at:https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/towiethics-radical-citizenship-taster-day-tickets-15785619212
