‘Our work seeks to create space where all people find freedom in creativity and are empowered to discover great moments in a celebration of artistic expression’.
Creative Ambassadors will be mentored by a professional community producer at Artis Community Cymuned and will be trained in facilitation skills prior to engaging in delivery as part of the Intergenerational Skills Swap programme.
This experience has been designed to build confidence and empower Creative Ambassadors to deliver their own skills in an informal setting through community engagement. During these sessions there will be an opportunity to try out a variety of creative activities. These will serve as an engagement tool to ignite conversations around community issues and priorities with a strong focus on making friends, building relationships, and sharing interests & skills with people from their community.
The recent introduction of the Well Being of Future Generations Act (2015) has meant that we at Artis are preparing to be part of a forward-thinking, sustainable and healthier Wales by creating community-focused programs of artistic and creative activity offering participants nurturing arts experiences that improve health and wellbeing.
• How we can develop skills in direct practice on an established community arts project as future artists, tutors and educators?
• How can we design, develop and deliver creative art activity that takes into account the needs of the participants?
• How can we artistically collaborate with a professional community arts producer agreeing on appropriate engagement methods?
As a part of your first brief, Creative Ambassadors will be involved in the co-design of our Intergenerational Skill Swap programme which will start on 29th April for 10 weeks.
• Co-collaboration on the design and delivery of 10 intergenerational skills swap sessions
• Working as a team as well as shadowing opportunities to support Artis Community Cymuned’s Creative Producer
• Introduce environmental themes into delivery of workshops/sessions
