Catalyst: Inspiring Arts Ideas for Teachers

Struggle for confidence when teaching the arts? Looking for some fresh lesson ideas you can use across the curriculum? Catalyst is a programme of inspiring arts-based teacher training days running across the academic year.

Each Catalyst day is designed to help integrate the arts into your teaching practice. During the day you will work with professional artists and practitioners to build confidence in using the arts. Workshops will teach techniques and skills that you will feel confident to use across the curriculum.

The day will pass on interactive and innovative teaching ideas for P3 to P6. Each event will work with two art forms from: poetry, visual arts, drama, storytelling, dance and music.

There are a maximum of 30 places available per day so we strongly recommend booking soon as places fill up quickly. Catalyst 11.12 Booking Form
