Creative Skills - Arts Leadership

Content

Welcome to The Electric Sunshine Project’s Creative Skills Programme: Part Two. 
﻿
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: Arts Leadership is your chance to explore, test, develop and review your own creative arts leadership skills. You will take the lead in planning, delivering and reviewing an arts project. It could be a series of workshops that you organise for others, a one-off event or activity, a performance, an exhibition, the creation of a creative space and place (a community dark room or DJ studio for example), publishing a zine or website or a social media campaign. The most important thing is that YOU organise it.
﻿
You can work on your own or as part of a team and you’ll have support from a more experienced practitioner. 
﻿
This is your chance to find the creative leader in YOU.
