GLAM - Global Arts Management (Level 6 Top-Up) BA (Hons) students joined some of the AFM - Arts and Festivals Management BA (Hons) students in Leicester’s Cultural Quarter for a Placemaking exercise… ‘Are you the tourist, artist, mayor, cleaner, or resident?’ What do you think the outcome of the game was? On our courses we like to implement:

✅ the play element with practical exercises

✅ the local industry’s framework

To create the immersive experience that stimulates creativity to develop a better understanding of what our students may end up doing in their future careers! Do you think you want to be a creative mentor, leader or entrepreneur in the arts and cultural sector? Our courses may just be what you need to develop necessary skills!
