From 2013-‐15, Starcatchers is delivering a new pilot programme of Creative Skills Training for Early Years practitioners in Scotland. Funded by the Scottish Government and Creative Scotland, this programme offers a range of training sessions from Early Years artists which explore expressive arts using an open-‐ended, child centred approach.
The programme is for everyone working across the Early Years sector, including staff in nursery and family centre settings, health workers, childminders, and out-‐of-‐school and play workers.
‘If we are to encourage the next generation to be creative, flexible and confident, as practitioners we must first embody those principles ourselves. We need to be brave.’ Rhona Matheson, Starcatchers Director
