Artsplan Distance Learning Course
Artsplan, the training and publications arm of Artswork, the national youth arts
development agency, is pleased to offer the 6-week Distance Learning Course, ‘Working Together –
Using the Arts with Young People’.
Already a successful one-day workshop, the course provides an overview of the
benefits of using the arts with young people, outside of formal education. The new Distanced
Learning version now provides greater flexibility and opportunities for those looking to develop
their skills and knowledge in this area, with a lower price, one-on-one mentoring and extensive
supporting material.
The course involves a combination of workbook exercises, self-evaluation and
trainer/mentor time to be completed at your own pace over a period of 6 weeks. The one-on-one
mentor time is more personal and practical, fitting in with existing commitments. Ideal for those
new to using the arts with young people in any setting, the course will start with an exploration
of the term ‘youth arts’, progressing towards developing an understanding of the key ingredients
needed to run a successful youth arts project.
As Lesley Bennett, a previous participant enthuses:
“The course was enjoyable, a positive mix of enabling me to use my creative side alongside the
need for practical intelligent thoughts. A stimulating experience!.”
The course is available at a range of prices, depending on circumstance. The
substantial supporting material includes the celebrated ‘Youth Arts Learning Passport’, your own
workbook/log book to keep and a certificate of attendance. Overall, it is a package designed
to offer greater flexibility for professional development.
