/ LEONARDO: VOCATIONAL TRAINING FOR OUTDOOR ARTS

 

One of two new projects (the other being Les Grandes Cirques European Partnership) funded by the European Lifelong Learning Programme (Leonardo Da Vinci Partnerships).

 

The project will see SeaChange extending its European networks, working alongside partner organisations in the UK, France, the Netherlands and Ireland.

 

Designed to develop European best practice in vocational training in the field of professional outdoor arts, the project aims to increase the employability of those working in the outdoor arts sector - both creative and administrative practitioners.

 

There are a number of outputs which will be delivered over the course of the three-year project (2011 - 2013) and it will see SeaChange and partners developing a European network to support interdisciplinary working, best practice and employability.

 

The project will combine training activities and professional exchanges, working directly with the target groups and will also use the collaboration with partners to develop and disseminate new approaches to vocational training that can be used in future practice by partners and across the outdoor arts sector.
