UKCCA Educational Workshops

Carnival Workshops

An Introduction to Carnival Arts
We are running a series of FREE courses throughout 2008 that introduce people to carnival arts of every kind. We can tailor a course or set of workshops to the individual needs of groups. This is a fabulous opportunity for you or your group to get into carnival.
If you work with a group of people in any way – community project, special interest group, NEET provision, etc. then get in touch and we might be able to organise your very own ‘Introduction to Carnival’ workshops. (Due to funding criteria, there are certain restrictions e.g. the majority of participants must live, work or study in Luton and be aged 16+)
These free workshops are part of the Roots to Carnival project funded by Arts Council England, Learning and Skills Council, European Social Fund and run in partnership with the University of Bedfordshire.
Current ‘Introduction to Carnival Arts’ projects:
•    Large-scale Carnival Costume frame-building workshops with the Youth Offending Team.
•    Carnival Costume workshops with ACE Enterprises’ clients who have accessed mental health services.
•    Carnival banner making workshops with ACE Enterprises’ clients who have accessed mental health services.
