Good morning!

We've had some lovely feedback from the Solihull Cultural Education Partnership about the first session with Giraffe Dance yesterday. We are so pleased that it went well.

Solihull CEP have added another workshop for Young Creative Entrepreneurs on 23rd June at Chelmsley Wood Library.

This hands-on workshop will guide budding entrepreneurs through the process of creating their own business. Participants will explore a range of elements from the business world, including branding and logos, building their CVs, understanding money and budgeting, developing a business plan and working on the hands on elements of a creative business.

The session offers a supportive space to develop creativity, problem-solving skills and entrepreneurial thinking. By the end of the day, young people could walk away with a completed business plan and the tools they need to take their ideas to the next step!

Have a look at their website for more information and to book on:
