A unique strand of our work is the perspective we bring to integrate artistic, creative and cultural expression with ‘mainstream’ social and economic development. Our team includes practitioners with many years of experience in the arts, and the cultural and creative industries, who utilise artistic and cultural activity to:
- create innovative pathways to economic and social inclusion
- develop new skills for new jobs
- foster wider employability and skills through innovative, creative non-formal learning
- nurture the ‘talent pool’ of young people who have been otherwise alienated by mainstream and ‘traditional’ educational experiences
- run creative and innovative enterprise and employment programmes for entry into the Creative and Cultural Industries – one of the UK’s genuine (and growing) ‘world class’ industries.
Since 2022, initially as part of the Mayor’s Academies Programme, we developed our Creative Re-Work concept. Creative Re-Work provides a variety of opportunities, available to professional and aspiring performance artists to support their continuous personal development, utilising innovative approaches to careers information, advice, guidance and support for those wishing to develop sustainable careers in the sector.
For creative practitioners who are involved or interested in these and other related topics, we also operate the Rinova Creative Mentoring Exchange. Through the Exchange, you can network with other practitioners at events (online and offine), as well as hear ‘tip offs’ about funding, professional development and international opportunities.
Joining the Exchange is free – click here to find out more.
