what is Cultural Enterprise at Hothouse? Course details and application criteria
 

Free Form’s award winning Cultural Enterprise @ HOTHOUSE is at the heart of our work, providing a 20-week work-based training course as a pathway for re-training and upskilling creative people to enable them to earn a living through their skills.

Cultural Enterprise @ HOTHOUSE provides hands-on experience of real Public Art projects taking you through all stages of the design and the community involvement process. Participants work in teams to produce work towards ‘live’ urban design and environmental regeneration projects, which provide a quality experience, core transferable skills (including IT and Project Management), continuing professional development and business training. The programme offers accreditation at NVQ Design Level 3.

  When?  

The next training course will commence in January 2007.

Priority will be given to candidates living in Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Newham, Lee Valley, Bedfordshire and Luton.

Where?

The training course will be based at HOTHOUSE 274 Richmond Road London Fields E8 3QW, with some work on site either in London or the Bedfordshire area.
