Module Aims
The main aims of the module are:
To explore the complex skills and strategies necessary to be an aware, responsible, ethical, reflective and safe creative arts practitioner with diverse participants in an array of settings.
To examine a range of professional standards and relevant theoretical knowledge and apply these in professional practice.
To encourage reflective thinking and evaluation of their own practice using models of reflective and ethical practice and identify future goals for their own personal development.
Content Summary
Get ready for one of the most inspiring stages of your course. Leading Your Community Placement invites you to step beyond the classroom and into an individual professional placement. With an exciting range of healthcare, educational, cultural, and community organisations to choose from, you’ll have the freedom to find a setting that truly inspires you. One student might be designing multi-sensory art experiences for children with additional needs, while another could be using creative practices to support adults navigating homelessness or substance misuse.
Wherever you go, you’ll be stepping into real lives, real stories, and real challenges.
Before leading your own workshops, you’ll gain the skills, tools and confidence to research, design, and deliver an exciting, ethical arts project. You’ll dive into the world of participatory arts - its possibilities, its boundaries - and begin discovering your unique identity as a facilitator. During placement, a professional mentor will support your reflection and growth, while on campus you’ll deepen your learning through supportive seminars and hands-on workshops. You’ll finish the module with a Portfolio showcasing thoughtful planning, ethical practice and safety awareness - skills you’ll continue to build on in the next module.
