Regional Arts WA in partnership with Southern Forest Arts are excited to present a dynamic, career developing, two-day Creative Leadership Program, in Manjimup on Tuesday November 30th and Wednesday December 1st.
Designed for organisations, community leaders, local governments, teachers, artists and creative thinkers in the Southern Forests & Valleys region, this intensive leadership program will give you the theoretical knowledge and practical skills to build and strengthen your creative leadership skills.
Led by Dr Shona Erskine, a registered psychologist the program has been designed to help facilitate a culture of self-led leadership, collaborative leadership and community-led contribution, to specifically nurture the growth of leaders in regional WA.
The program is delivered in two modules over two days:
MODULE ONE – BEING CREATIVE (Tuesday)
Creative practice skills that everyone can use, no matter the situation. These micro-skills are easy to access and research has shown you will have a better than even chance at being creative when you need to be. No background in creative practice is needed to develop these skills.
MODULE TWO – CREATIVITY IN GROUPS (Wednesday)
Leadership processes for working with groups that need to think laterally and produce creative solutions. Creativity is most often a group endeavour! This module articulates the factors that guide groups toward creative solutions.

TIME: 9am to 4pm
VENUE: Manjimup Wellness & Respite Centre, Edwards Street, Manjimup
