Creative Courses

Build your confidence, build relationships, build your future.

We believe everyone can find their voice through creativity. Our creative courses can help you to realise your own artistic vision, giving you the skills, tools and networks to develop your creativity and turn your passions into professional success.

Being on the Creative Careers course helped me to pursue my passion in dance and facilitating. I was given the opportunity to plan out and deliver my own dance sessions with children and gained great experience from it. At the end of it all I became more confident in what I love and was able to find connections with other facilitators to create more dance sessions.

The Creative Courses are FREE and take place every academic term in our youth clubs across the city, some will take place online during Covid-19 restrictions. The next term is in summer, between 26th April - 9th July.

To be the first to hear about it when registration opens, sign up to our newsletter and follow us on Twitter or Facebook.
