Creativity thirst

Information about the next run of the “Creativity Thirst” project which is due to start in September. Delivered by the WEA, this programme targets those who are considering setting up their own businesses or making some extra income using skills in the Creative Industries. The project looks at issues such as how this decision impacts your life, if you are ready, if your business idea is ready, what you need to do to get going etc. It is sector specific to the Creative Industries and uses a creative approach in its delivery.


This project is funded by Belfast City Council and the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment’s Building Sustainable Prosperity Program and is offered FREE to the learner. Participants must live in the Belfast City Council area, hold qualifications in their particular skills area at Level 2 or above and want to explore income generation or self employment in the Creative Industries.


The programme, follows on from the very successful pilot which took place last year and is included in the “Blueprint for Northern Ireland”, issued by the Creative and Culture Skill Sector. Content is accredited by CCEA and the Open College Network Northern Ireland.


Further information is available on the WEA website www.wea-ni.com about this programme as well as details of the pilot which took place last year.
