Breaking the ICE: Inform Create Educate has been developed by APT, LEAN and Artifacts Edutainment and funding has been granted by the London Borough of Lewisham's Collaboration Fund.

Ten workshops/seminars have been developed to cover the following subject areas:
Working with schools
How schools run and how they work
Safe working practices
Learning and leaving a legacy
Managing, planning and evaluating workshops

This professional development training programme is designed to support artists working in the fields of music, drama, dance and the visual arts to develop their arts practice within statutory education. We want to show artists what they can offer schools and help them apply their practice to formal educational settings.

If you live or work in Lewisham we are now able to discount the course fees to £5.87 (inc VAT) per session if you sign up and pay for all ten sessions. The total cost for the ten-week course at the APT Gallery on Creekside is £58.76 9 inc VAT).

If you have any queries concerning the course please contact
