This module gives students a unique opportunity to get directly involved in delivering an arts project to school groups.
Students will work with the Arts Education team, learning the principles of an effective project, delivering sessions to school children, and learning how to adapt to sessions and projects according to different needs. By helping school children develop, students will in turn learn about and reflect upon their own strengths, skills, and capabilities. They will also develop their team-working skills and enhance their understanding of the cultural sector, including its wide array of career opportunities.
This module is designed to assist students in developing employability capabilities so they are better equipped to secure opportunities in the graduate job market. In so doing, the module complements other modules that include study skills, personal development planning (PDP), professionalism and work-related learning.
