REFLECT Lab Co-mentoring Opportunity in Collaborative Arts and Health with Children and Young People
(Northwest Region, February 2011 – January 2012)
REFLECT Lab co-mentoring is a dynamic, collaborative learning process for people across sectors, developed by The Sage Gateshead (UK). People taking part are given the opportunity to pause, reflect, reconnect, and reappraise their professional practice from a new perspective.
REFLECT Lab in the Northwest will aim to develop skills, confidence, and knowledge by bringing artists and healthcare workers together in co-mentoring pairs. Previous co-mentors have shared values, explored different points of view, and re-focused their work with children and young people as a direct consequence of exploring their own creative practice.
If you are an artist working with children and young people in the Northwest and would like to participate in this professional development programme with healthcare workers from Feb 2011 - Jan 2012, please contact Helium with an expression of interest at reflect@helium.ie .
Commitment is aprox 8 days within this timeframe and there is no fee for this course.
Full details of the application process will be available in January. REFLECT Lab is funded under the Arts Council of Ireland Local Partnership Scheme with additional funding and support from Sligo County Council and the HSE.
