Creative Consultation

When planning or reviewing a project, creatively consulting with your target audience, service users, staff or the general public is a great way to find out:

• what the need is locally – setting the aims for your project
• how relevant your service or ideas are for that community – will they work?
• how to improve what you are doing – what changes need to happen
• what you should be doing – is their a gap in provision
• involve the community in your plans right from the beginning – ensure engagement and ownership from the people that matter

We have a toolkit full of creative processes we use for both public open access creative consultation events and for targeted group work during a one-off or longer engagement period.

Using creative consultation in our and your programmes will:

• generate fun social marketing fact-finding
• create a baseline for project evaluation
• provide outcomes and outputs for you and the participants
• establish the potential for the sustainability and legacy of your project

We offer creative consultation as part of our project work and as a stand-alone service.

Training – creative professional development

Are you a school or nursery whose staff wants to develop the skills to teach the curriculum more creatively?

We can help you learn some transferable visual arts, digital, movement and storytelling skills that can be used cross-curricular, in your own planning and with all year groups.

We can share our creative reflection and observation techniques that will help you to tailor lesson plans for maximum learning potential and monitor pupils progress through a range of documentation techniques.

 

Are you a public or private sector professional who needs creative tools for public engagement and consultation?

We can work with you so that you are equipped with the right tools for your communities and target demographics to fully engage and participate in the services and activities your organisation offer.

Our Creative Professional Development programmes are bespoke to your staff and organisational needs.  We can deliver full day inset activities, provide 2-hour taster sessions or provide a combination of training days with distance learning support whilst you implement your new skills with your groups.
