Have you seen some tenders for creative opportunities in schools but not been sure how to respond to them?

This workshop is designed to help you understand how you could improve your chances of accessing some of these fantastic opportunities.

When and where?

Date: Thursday 16th September 2010

Venue: CSWP Ltd., 1st Floor Tower Court, Courtaulds Way, Coventry, CV6 5QT

Time: 10am - 4pm

What's it all about?

The day will be a mix of presentations and practical workshops, led by Creative Agents and practitioners currently working with Cre8us and in schools across Coventry, Solihull and Warwickshire.  The day will consider:

• the Creative Partnerships' programme and how it operates in schools;
• the role of the creative practitioner in the process of a project;
• case studies from practitioners working in Creative Partnership schools on the 'on the ground' reality;
• an outline of how the recruitment process generally works;
• demystifying briefs, tender opportunities from schools;
• insight into how you, as a creative practitioner, might respond to these tenders;
• opportunity for one to one surgeries and advice.

So what's in it for me?

You don't want us to tell you to come along...!  Here's what previous participants have said about the day:

"I now understand the way to unravel the enquiries and apply my knowledge to gain the tenders."

"This day reinforced my confidence that I already have many of the skills required and I can become a practitioner...affirming my belief in creative teaching for all."
