Creative Skills - Practice and Pathways

Content

Welcome to The Electric Sunshine Project’s Creative Skills Programme: Part One
﻿
The programme is designed for 18-25 year olds not in employment, training or education, offering new routes to realising creative potential, through a range of structured opportunities. It’s a safe place to take part in personal arts challenges and develop a self-defined arts leadership project and achieve a Silver Arts Award. 
﻿
Activities will take place online and at The Old Electric, Blackpool’s newest community arts hub, and with evidence documented through the Blackpool City of Learning website. 
﻿
Creative Skills: Practice and Pathways is your chance to develop your own arts practice and experiences and find out about career pathways in the arts. 
﻿
The activities and tasks for this playlist guide you through recording and documenting your arts experiences, introducing your creative self, identifying and realising a personal arts challenge, reviewing arts events and experiences as the audience and discovering more about career pathways in the arts. 
﻿
At the moment activities will take place online, but as soon as it’s possible to meet in person will take place at The Old Electric.
