About the programme
Creative Toolbox is part of Future Makers, our new programme that puts co-creation at the heart of everything we do, working through Masterclasses, Incubators, Speakeasies and Gatherings. The Toolbox is designed to build on your creative practice as a teacher, giving you new insights and expanding your skill base. Focused on the teacher/ student relationship, these CPD Masterclasses aim to support you to plan and deliver exciting and imaginative lessons. Each session is designed to be an open space where everyone is welcome, valued, learning, contributing and collaborating.
