Continuing Professional Development (CPD)

At Lakeside Arts, we want to offer continued support and development to those working in education, healthcare, theatre, dance and music.

We endeavour to provide a range of workshops and opportunities to bring creativity and development to your career. Led by industry experts, these opportunities deliver unique insights, hands-on learning, and practical experience to help accelerate professional development.

These opportunities are ideal for: Teachers, Support Staff, Artists, Practitioners and anyone interested in developing and expanding their skills.

We also have the potential to design bespoke workshops, Q&As, or discussion events tailored to your needs. Whether you have a specific theme, audience, or learning goal in mind, get in touch to discuss how we can bring your idea to life. If you’d like to start a conversation please contact our Creative Programmer Manya Benenson.
