Creative Engagement Workshop

Learn fun, creative ways to lead meaningful conversations about movement with Preston Moves

Preston Moves - about us

Preston Moves is a new city-wide partnership working with communities to support and inspire people to move more.

We're at an early stage - talking to community leaders and spaces to understand how their communities work, what barriers exist, and where we can be useful.

We're engaging with communities creatively, using simple and creative techniques that make people feel relaxed, welcome and involved. We want to share these techniques with our Preston community peers. And we'd like to invite your community to meet us.

The workshops

We're inviting people from VCFSE organisations and community leaders to attend a Creative Engagement Workshop on either 21 or 23 May, focused on supporting people to get active. Our workshop on Thursday 21 May is linked here.

It's a paid opportunity

If you attend a training day and then facilitate a community meet-up about movement, you will be paid for both attending the training and facilitating the meet-up. (Note whilst multiple people from an organisation are welcome to attend the training, we limit payments to one person per organisation for training and the delivery.)

Free training places are available for those who would like to attend the workshop but cannot commit to facilitating a meet-up.
