Quench your “creative thirst” profitably

Anyone interested in this I am one of the Trainers working on it.


Are you thinking about setting up your own business in the Creative Industries? Or perhaps making a little extra income with your creative skills?
If so, the WEA and Belfast City Council have the programme for you. We are offering a short, accessible programme aptly named ‘Creativity Thirst’ to help anyone who is considering self employment or gaining additional income in the Creative Industries develop the necessary skills.



Due to the funding support of Belfast City Council and the European Regional Development Fund through the Northern Ireland Sustainable Competitiveness Programme. “Creativity Thirst” is offered FREE to the learner and will commence in September. 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 Cultural Industries Skill Sector. Content is accredited by CCEA and the Open College Network Northern Ireland. Anyone with a level 2 qualification or above in their skill area living in the Belfast area and who is considering self employment or gaining additional income in the Creative Industries is welcome to apply. Skills can include: music, film, photography, textiles, craft, digital imaging, etc.

All sessions have been scheduled outside office hours to allow maximum accessibility. An additional four taster sessions will also take place across Belfast between September and December. Further information about these will be made available on the WEA website (www.wea-ni.com).
