YOUTH ARTS TRAINING

A range of training courses

Location: South West Regional

Dates & Times: October 2007

Ruth Jones is an experienced youth arts specialist and trainer.

From October 2007 she is offering a range of training courses to delivery partners in the south west. Package/flexible deals available to local authorities, arts, & youth organisations wishing to offer the training in-house or to target specific areas.

Training can be specially commissioned, or any of the following are offered as one day training courses:

1. planning your project:
a step by step guide to organising a youth arts or music project – don’t lose the plot – get one! For beginners or “brushers up”. You have the great idea already – now get it onto paper to get it off the ground……

2. building a budget: a straightforward practical journey through building a budget from scratch – easy as ABC, 123…. Arrive with a project idea (or use case study provided) and leave with your first draft budget!

3. fundraising: crash course in fundraising – where does it come from & how to get it – from someone who knows! Are the best fundraisers people who are not fundraisers?…….your trainer thinks so!

4. marketing your project: what works for you? Gonzo? Guerilla? Straightforward, no-nonsense guide through identifying your target markets & creating a marketing strategy that really works for small youth arts & music projects.
5. evaluating your project: what is it? who is it for? Maybe you are fairly confident about your music project content and management…..but daunted by the prospect of organising the evaluation – or could it be you find it a bit tedious!!?? It’s easy - and can be enjoyable - when you know how….
Also on offer are a range of other youth arts services, including training needs analysis, policy development, mentoring, and organisational development.

(Dates for open access training days will be announced in September)
