This workshop very much served as an introduction to the program and to what was expected of the participants, including introducing all the mentors. We asked some thought-provoking questions to get participants started and really rock the boat, and though everyone was a little caught off guard, they soon dived in with both feet. Culture24 presented the original inspiration for this program the ‘one-by-one project’, which we circled back to for our final workshop, and also the Let’s Get Real project which has been going on in the UK for years and involves skills training for the cultural sector, also the inspiration for this program.
