ICEnet Newsflash no.1

[Radka Jágriková]

Dear ICEnet members

Welcome to the first official ICEnet newsflash! With nearly a hundred members now, our community is growing nicely.  There are creative professionals who attended the International Creative Practitioners Forum in Vilnius in May (which marked the official launch of ICEnet online platform); those involved in Creative Partnerships Norway; artists involved in the exchange Artists in Creative Education – Pakistan and UK; and others.

What’s new on the platform?

Many videos taken at the International Creative Practitioners Forum in Vilnius have been uploaded now. Next to practitioners and organisers’ representatives talking about the importance of communities such as ICEnet, do not miss out on the keynote speeches from Paul Collard and Milda Lauzikaite. Milda, for instance, talks about the community of people involved in Creative Partnerships Lithuania and how they learn from each other and improve their practice. She hopes that could be true for the ICEnet community as well.

Next to many photos from the Forum, you can have a look at some other groups and projects in action too, such as the artists exchange between Pakistan and UK or training for Creative Agents within Creative Partnerships Norway – Oppland. See that professional development for creative practitioners can also be fun – be it wearing paper hats or making a creative response to a space…

Check new blog posts too, to learn about a new toolkit with guidance and resources for increasing “family-friendliness” of arts and leisure organisations and networks, Flybox (by Eefje Raets) or to read about recent international work of Creativity, Culture and Education, UK, from its Chief Executive Paul Collard.

 

More newsflashes, including some reflecting specifically on the Forum in Vilnius or featuring specific ICEnet members, will come your way soon. Also, new Links and Publications are being added, so don’t forget to check again!
