Rolemop Arts Explore Ways Back To Work
The programme, which uses interactive creative technology, delivers sessions which use a non-traditional programme that uses music, film, audio, drama, and interactive technology to offer a practical, engaging, and interactive way of learning; reaching out to and engaging with participants through contemporary popular music styles.
Rolemop Project Manager Kerri Mclean said: “Gridio offers an alternative to the classroom environment, which for clients suffering from low confidence, learning difficulties and often negative experiences of learning, is a much more appealing way of exploring interview skills.
Artists have always been sources of innovation and never more so than during recessions. Business and the economy no longer hold the same power they did a year ago and the arts are now offering people a way to see things differently and to change.”
For the pilot programme, Rolemop is working in partnership with the Brighton branch of the charity CDG – Careers Development Group, a charity that supports long-term unemployed individuals who are on the governments New Deal Scheme. Rolemop will pilot the developed programme of workshops at CDG’s Brighton branch with their client base.
Intensive, small grouped sessions with clients’ will be delivered by professional practitioners, using an interactive, technology based system called GRIDIO, a multimedia system using drama, video and sound, to engage and develop skills specifically for the use of gaining future employment. Participants will improve basic skills, including presentation, confidence building, and interview techniques.
