The Participatory Arts Short Course (PASC) programme is tailored to equip learners with the relevant skills, knowledge and understanding required to work collaboratively and proficiently within a range of participatory settings, using the arts as a catalyst for positive social change.

The course is suited to young people aged 16-24 hoping to develop their practice and apply their arts specialism in areas including, but not limited to, communities, criminal justice, education, health, social care and youth work.

Learn how to create accessible and engaging workshops, evaluation technique, the fundamentals of fundraising and budgeting, and the health benefits of participatory arts.
