Cultural Sector Masterclasses are a series of workshops for creative learning professionals that explore current topics affecting children and young people programmes.
A New Direction is partnering with sector leaders to bring you exciting and relevant CPD to help you reflect on your programmes for children and young people, and strengthen your creative practice. Each session will provide space for you to test new tools and share insights with peers.
