Glasgow, March 2012 Event Report Contents Partnerships, Funding and Support
Introduction SKILL UP is Promote YT’s annual training and networking conference for all organisations and individuals with a stake in youth performing arts. It is the only event of its kind in Scotland. Now in its eighth year, SKILL UP endeavours to provide delegates, regardless of their experience or abilities, with a broad range of relevant and affordable professional development opportunities. It is our vision to set a benchmark of practice development which will enable delegates to go on to deliver the highest standard of drama facilitation to the young people they work with. The two-day event is delivered in a style which allows individuals to develop their skills, share their practice and experiences, network with colleagues and establish new contacts within the youth theatre sector.
Venue Participation SKILL UP Programme: > Workshops > Youth Theatre Performance > Social Additional Evaluation Development Credits All evaluation results published in this report are based on a 73% response rate from SKILL UP 2012’s total participation of 83 delegates. For more detailed budgeting / evaluation information please contact Promote YT directly.
The launch of Promote YT’s annual SECTOR SYMPOSIUM in autumn 2011 created a dedicated forum for our sector to discuss and debate current issues. While in previous years we have used SKILL UP as a platform for this kind of activity, the introduction of the SECTOR SYMPOSIUM has now allowed us to concentrate the focus of SKILL UP entirely on training. The following report offers a summary of SKILL UP 2012, which celebrated the Year of Creative Scotland in March at Platform, Glasgow. It includes feedback from those delegates who contributed to the post-event evaluation process.
