In the current economic climate, it is vital that writers and other arts practitioners have the skills and knowledge to respond to different opportunities.

This workshop, led by Sara Clifford from Inroads, will help writers and other artists develop new skills, diversify their income, be in a position to take advantage of opportunities and take the initiative in creating projects and working in partnership within various health settings: hospitals, hospices and mental health services. The guest visiting speaker will be Kate Tym, a writer with extensive experience of working in healthcare, including a recent poetry project with stroke survivors.

Future session will cover:
Working with Intergenerational groups: children and young people working with groups of elders - 25 Jan 2013
Working with heritage and cultural organisations - 1 Mar 2013
