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. The next term is in spring, between 18th January – 31st March.

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

  • Infinite Identity | Exhibition at The Station

    Infinite Identity | Exhibition at The Station

    Life without creativity and imagination would be a very dull and possibly apocalyptic affair. Without the ability to see further than our physical reality, and to see ourselves as more than just the sum of our parts is perhaps one of the most powerful abilities we have as a species. This exhibit seeks to highlight not only diversity in thought, but diversity of self.
