Are you looking for effective ways to bring groups of people together and maintain their involvement?

Are you trying to encourage people to respond to the social and ecological challenges of our time and become active in the world?

Would you like to explore more creative ways of engaging communities?

Do you want to find out about inspirational ways to reach and include more diverse groups of people?

Do you want to learn about the craft of making things happen?

Would you like to explore how making art together can accelerate change?

Activating participation is a craft in itself and the course contributors are pioneering artists who have developed unique approaches to addressing the social and ecological challenges of our times

Join us for a week of creative exploration that will include learning from inspiring case studies, specialist workshops and presentations from contributors, practical group work, Celebration, solo reflection time, and 1: 1 mentoring to develop your own practice and celebration.

At the end of the week you will come away with new creative tools for change that can resource you and the projects, communities and organisations that you are involved with and give you the confidence to create new ones.
