What would you like to learn?
If it’s something to do with writing, literacy, filmmaking or event management, we can help. We run bespoke courses designed to promote self-confidence and improve literacy and project management skills through learning by doing.
The fees for each course are paid for by grants won by Connector Media. This allows us to invite the broadest possible audience to participate with no cost incurred by attendees. All our courses involve hands-on, practical experience, as well as classroom teaching.
We work with each participant prior to the beginning of the course to design individual development programmes, which can include guidance and support in attaining educational qualifications. Benefits of our courses include increased self-confidence and the acquisition of new and employable skills.
All our tutors are accredited experts, and each course will produce a final collection of work for distribution in either print or film.
