It supports w ays of working that are collaborative\, ethical and rooted in care - for p eople\, place and the future. For artists and cultural workers\, it provid es tools to think more deeply about how projects are designed\, how relati onships are held\, and how work can be sustainable over the long term.\nTh is course is part of our ongoing commitment to supporting artists and cult ural practitioners working in collaborative and socially engaged ways. We ’re offering it as a subsided opportunity for our Liverpool City Region community of artists\, partners and collaborators to come together\, refle ct\, share knowledge and explore new ways of working that feel more ethica l\, regenerative and hopeful.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFeedback from previous part icipants:\n"The hosting felt affable\, accessible\, informal and accommoda ting and incorporated a non euro-centric focused agenda which understood d ecolonising and anti-oppressive framework. The space was also well organis ed in timekeeping which maximised learning."\n"Learning about the differen t ethics\, principles\, and tools connected to permaculture is very inspir ing\; the balance between details and keeping it broad really helps to fin d ways to adapt it to one's personal life and practice."\n"Lots and lots o f interesting links to other reading\, websites\, projects\, places to vis it. The other participants were so interesting and thoughtful and prompted me to think differently. Many new avenues to explore. Affirmation of thin gs I have been thinking about so that I can take them further."\nREAD MORE ABOUT THE ARTISTS HERE\n\n\n\n\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.artinliverpool.com/wp-content/upload s/2026/02/With-For-About-2023-by-Radka-DolinskaDSCF7112.jpg CATEGORIES:Courses LOCATION:Make Huyton Village\, 22 Derby Road\, Knowsley\, L36 9UJ\, United Kingdom GEO:53.412142;-2.839795 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=22 Derby Road\, Knowsley\, L36 9UJ\, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Make Huyton Village:ge o:53.412142,-2.839795 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20251026T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0000 TZNAME:GMT END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
