Artsplan launches new distanced learning course

Artsplan, the training and publications arm of Artswork, the national youth arts development agency, has launched a new distanced 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 involves a combination of workbook exercises, self-evaluation and trainer/mentor time to be completed at your own pace over a period of six weeks. The course is available at a range of prices, depending on circumstance.

Artsplan is the largest provider of specialist youth arts training courses and publications in the UK, and the in-house training provider of ENYAN (English National Youth Arts Network). All training and publications are written and supported by experienced youth arts specialists, currently involved in a variety of project work through the UK. If the course is successful, Artswork hope to be able to offer the full range of Artsplan courses within the distanced learning format in the future.

For further details on Artsplan courses or to make a booking, please contact the Artsplan Development Manager Jay Barron on 023 80630960 or email her at artsplan@artswork.org.uk.
