Creative Breaks is a work experience scheme for young people and people with disabilities who are interested in performing arts careers. The scheme will support 12 individuals and 12 companies/ artists to come together and complete a 2-week, structured work placement across different areas of the performing arts sector. Arts Award is also available to participants.

Creative Breaks is available to 13-17 year olds in and outside of formal education and people with disabilities who are interested in working in the performing arts. If you’re a young person who might be interested in a work placement or an organisation with something to offer young people please contact Gilly on 0161 274 0652 or email creativebreaks@panda-arts.org.uk.
