In the next 2 workshop days these ideas and proposals will be shared and discussed with experienced people such as cultural managers, social entrepreneurs, environmentalists and government officials.
The cross sector dialogue that these workshops will facilitate is intended to help you to develop new vision and new ways of working as a creative practitioner who can respond to the social and environmental challenges in creative ways. Throughout the workshops there will be a focus on how your proposed project can benefit your environment, the community and its people.
