More-than-words: Early Years Pedagogy Workshop
May 26, 2022Creative connections that span generations
Curious Minds is delighted to invite applications for Bridging the Distance, our new two-day professional development programme designed to enhance creative interactions between early years children and older people in intergenerational spaces.
Up to 12 paid places are available on this programme for freelance cultural practitioners and artists based in the North West. Successful applicants will be expected to attend two face-to-face training workshops, on 21st June and 5th July 2022, and to complete a simple inter-sessional action-learning task. In return, a bursary of £450 will be paid.
Bridging the Distance is a new and dynamic collaboration between Curious Minds and the intergenerational charity, Ready Generations. If you are new to intergenerational projects or aspiring to understand more in order to expand the reach of your work then this two-day programme is for you.
We believe truly world class intergenerational work should:
- Be rooted in the reality of people’s lived experience
- Recognise the centrality of human dignity
- Ensure experiences take place in meaningful contexts
- Meet the diverse needs of all participants and be clear about impact
- Build sustained relationships
- Make experiences real, exciting and inspirational
- Develop the whole person – intellectual, aesthetic, physical, emotional, spiritual and social
- Excite imaginations and fire curiosity
- Raise aspirations and widen horizons
- Provide hope and a desire to make the world a better place
