The One Step Further investment programme aims to enhance the programmes of existing festivals and events during 2012, with a focus on cultural tourism.
Sixteen festivals are to receive a share of over £400,000 to help attract more visitors to Scotland during 2012: the Year of Creative Scotland.

“Scotland is unquestionably one of the most creative countries in the world and these festivals will help showcase that vibrant creativity to new audiences. Our culture is one of our greatest assets and a major draw for visitors – that’s why this programme is so important – it’s providing opportunities for visitors as well as local communities right across Scotland.”

– experienced tutors
– professional rehearsal spaces and venues
– excellent learning and teaching
We provide learning and training opportunities in the same five disciplines as our undergraduate and postgraduate degrees: dance, drama, music, production and screen.
The ethos of our work is built upon the belief that the arts can contribute to the development of the whole person. We value inter-disciplinary working, use traditional and contemporary practices to inform our teaching, and support the principle of access to excellence for all.
For the majority of our courses we have an open access policy. We welcome learners at all levels of experience and are committed to reducing barriers to participation in the arts.
At the Royal Conservatoire we value diversity and strive to create opportunities for people to grow and develop through the performing and production arts regardless of background, age, ability or culture.
