Art of Invitation Carlow
How can we bring people together to engage with the challenges facing our communities? How can we ask questions creatively to encourage meaningful dialogue? What skills, resources and capacities do people already have that can be built upon?
Carlow Arts Festival is delighted to offer The Art of Invitation Course which will be expertly led by Ruth Ben-Tovim.
The Art of Invitation training offers new creative tools for change that can equip you and your projects, groups, communities and organisations to engage in the ecological, cultural and social challenges of our time.
You will learn about:
- New approaches to engaging people in creative, collective responses to challenges facing their communities
- Creative ways to activate and inspire people to participate
- A participatory approach to facilitation, involving doing, making and reflecting, both individually and in groups
- Creative approaches to bring groups of people together and maintain their involvement
