The Selby Community House has announced the launch of its new Break into Event & Festival Management course, which will commence during Term 2.
This dynamic, hands-on 6-week introduction course is designed to equip you with the essential skills in creating, planning and managing events & festivals. Participants will gain skills around designing themes, budgeting and compliance knowledge required for the preparation and management of events & festivals. They will work individually and collaboratively to plan and deliver a small local event on site in June, gaining valuable real-life experience in the field.
Participants will then be able to elevate their skills further, by progressing to Levels 2 & 3 across the year, where they will have the opportunity to develop advanced skills – and contribute to the planning and delivery of our annual flagship event SelbyFest! – which will take place in November 2024.
“We are excited to be able to deliver this new course to our local community and provide hands-on learning in the Event & Festival space – and the invaluable opportunity to be involved in the design and delivery of SelbyFest!,” House Manager at Selby Community House Danielle Steele said.
“We are really looking forward to attracting new people, energy and skills to this course, and collaborating with them to create an amazing SelbyFest! experience for 2024.”
The Break into Event & Festival Management course will run for six weeks on Mondays 9.30am – 1.30pm, kicking off on 13 May. The course is government-funded (ACFE), to make it affordable and accessible. The full course fee is only $90, or $50 concession.
