* Mentorship and peer to peer meetings;

* Support for developing and resourcing online and in-person proposals for classes or projects;

* Problem solving labs: advisory sessions covering project organisation, funding and networking;

* Creative labs and sharing - ideas incubation and quick ways to bring a sense of 'ready-set-go' to your projects;

* Mental Health through Creative Wellness - resilience, connection and inspiration.

Limited Places Available - inclusion by Application Only.

Practice <-> Pedagogy <-> Projects

Supported by our unique 3-Part model to support artists and practitioners develop their practice (and passion) to become their profession and to benefit more people in local communities:

Practice

We're keen to meet you and discover what you feel you need to develop your practice.

Whether you aim to develop your creative or (eco)somatic practice, devising performance, or contribute to collective practice-as-research our Open Call will provide plenty of opportunities for this during January to June 2023.

Opportunities for:
- peer-to-peer support;
- local meetups;
- ideas and inspiration;
- mentoring;
- creative labs;
- collaboration between practices;
- embodied research and practice;
- mental health and Creative Wellness

** Did you know that while Intercultural Roots is an independent nonprofit organisation, it was born from the Embodied Research Working Group at the IFTR - International Federation for Theatre Research?

Pedagogy

We will be offering sessions focussed on various aspects of pedagogy through 'enabling-the-enabler', aiming to expand and broaden the approach that practitioners have in sharing their own practice:
- planning;
- preparation;
- individual learning needs and styles;
- progressive learning;
- assessment and evaluation of learning.

Paid employment opportunities for experienced practitioners who are ready to join our unique social enterprise Practitioner Partnership programme. We will support proposals we feel we can platform through our website What's On page helping you to publish, ticket, promote and administer your creative or somatic course, intensive, retreat or conference whether it is online, in-person or even hybrid. We are also connected to opportunities for being part of Social Prescribing networks.

** Did you know that Intercultural Roots receives $13,000 per month for promotion from Google and Microsoft and you can also receive discounts on some Apple products?

Projects

You might have an idea for a project and we can help you to develop and reach out to explore opportunities for funding and partnership:

- Opportunities for developing successful and collaborative Funding applications;
- Learn how to engage groups and build communities through Digital Promotion;
- Discover essential tools for project administration and compliance: Project Planning, Finance, Legality, Health & Safety;
- Support for becoming a self-employed Freelancer and how to develop your own company or organisation.

** Did you know that Intercultural Roots is part of a network of nonprofit charities that could also support your projects
