Training

Building on the Creative and Credible approach to evaluation, this course provides participants with the knowledge, skills and confidence to evaluate creatively as well as credibly.

Over the course of three interactive workshops, we will look at ways in which we can better harness creativity to generate appropriate, relevant, meaningful evaluations.

We are looking for CSA survivors who are professional creatives with at least 3 years of experience and are based in or within travelling distance of Gloucester to join our Creative Leaders Training programme. This training takes place over 8 days, in-person, in Gloucester and will support the creatives to develop the skills you need to work with groups of CSA survivors and allies.

creativeEmerge will train a new cohort of commission-ready practitioners to deliver creative health activities in the West of England. The programme consists of 8 modules, delivered in a 3-hr workshop and a 2-hr community of practice meeting each month; creative health placements; 3 hours of professional mentoring; and personal and collaborative assessments.

This online course will help you develop, deliver and evaluate health and wellbeing work within a museum, arts, heritage or cultural organisation.

This course explores the key skills needed to write strong applications and effectively communicate about your work to successfully achieve funding from Trusts and Foundations. As we see increased competition in fundraising from Trusts and Foundations, there has never been a more important time to learn how to communicate your story to funders and stand out from the crowd.

This self-guided course offers the opportunity to hear from experts, develop new approaches and build your evaluation skills and confidence.
