Friday 5th April, Monday 8th April and Friday 12th April - Skills Fortnight

I attended Cartwheel Arts' Skills Fortnight, with workshops in First Aid, Health and Safety, Equality and Diversity and Risk Assessment. This was a great opportunity to learn and train myself, and also to see how Cartwheel offers training and career development to people across the community who aren't necessarily working in the Arts. Having said that, I was inspired by how Kerry turned Risk Assessment (a notoriously dry topic) into a creative and fun workshop; I never would have guessed Risk Assessment could have a group laughing so much! As well as supporting Kerry in this session, it was great to experience these workshops as a participant, gaining valuable insight into the workshop topics and another branch of Cartwheel's work.
