Intercultural Roots launched GIRIC as a new ONLINE programme in January 2023, supported by the Social Enterprise Support Fund for UK and Internationally based artists, makers, creators and somatic practitioners. Now join over 170 practitioners to help develop your Actions for Growth!
We are inviting Practitioners and Embodied Researchers who would like to develop their arts, creative, cultural, craft, somatic and ecological work to join this international programme that will encompass the following opportunities:
* Peer-to-Peer Support and Mentoring
* Network Building opportunities
* Structured, Peer-Led Fortnightly Zoom Sessions (see 2023/24 schedule below)
* Opportunities to propose and co-develop income generating workshops, courses and intensives
* Opportunities to co-develop projects that respond to the needs of communities
* Asynchronous online access to resources, support and forum via our Basecamp platform
Supported by our unique 3-Part model to support practitioners develop their practice (and passion) and for this to become their profession and to benefit more people in local communities.
The following topics will be delivered at our fortnightly Zoom sessions on Wednesdays 17:00 - 18:30 London UK Time. The topics were proposed by GIRIC practitioners through a consultation held September - October 2023. All practitioners have the option to attend or contribute to the peer-led sessions.
