Ignite
- Professional development through creative practice
- Enabling people to grow in confidence and expertise
CCI’s Ignite programme comprises a range of study options designed to support the sustainable development of creativity in professional groups.
It was both relaxing and inspiring….I have learned to experiment and be more confident
Why haven’t I been before? I’m so excited these sessions exist.
Sessions can be booked as individual study days or workshops but combining them into a sustained, coherent CPD programme will ensure the greatest impact. Ignite has been developed following years of successful training and partnership work by CCI, particularly with colleagues from the University of Cambridge Faculty of Education.
CCI run a regular programme of twilight workshops for educators at Kettle’s Yard Gallery in Cambridge. These unique sessions offer educators time and space to explore and develop their own creative practice. Further information here.
