Five sessions to Explore

This planner supports you to run Arts Award Explore in five day-long sessions (or equivalent).

This is by no means the only way to deliver this level of the award, but it offers a structure whether your programme runs over five days or five weeks!

The planner splits five day-long sessions into activities so that you could use these for full day workshops or spread them over more sessions. This approach could work well for delivery in a week or fortnight programme or within regular workshops over a much longer project.
