Monthly Drop-In: Fair Access Care Experienced and Estranged Students

Posted on by Yvonne McLellan

 Fair Access Care Experienced and Estranged Student Drop In 

Fourth Monday of each month between 5pm-6pm

We’re pleased to announce that our monthly sessions will be hosted by Jesse Paul (Fair Access Manager) and The Fair Access Team. They take place on the 4th Monday of every month via Zoom.

These relaxed and informal sessions are designed to suit your needs, whatever they may be – you may just want a cuppa and a chat, or to get information and advice about accessing the arts or maybe you wish to meet others with similar experiences to yourself. 

The drop-ins provide a safe space, however, if you wish to speak to someone about a personal or sensitive issue outwith these sessions, please email transitions@rcs.ac.uk or WACI@rcs.ac.uk and the team will arrange an appointment with you.

Students can view the meeting details on their student portal here. If you don’t have the password to access the site, contact transitions@rcs.ac.uk

What It Means To Be Me

🎼 What it means to be Me
🗓 13 – 15 July 2021
🌍 Glasgow

The Fair Access Department at the RCS has been working with a small group of students from film, production, music, composition and PGDE who are care experienced or estranged. This group have devised a series of creative workshops designed to inspire and support care experienced or estranged young people to make a music video.

Working over three days in July (13th to 15th) we will play with music, spoken word, camera, lighting, artistic expression and rhythm – by the end of the workshop process, the participating young people will have created a short video that will be screened at a special celebratory event.

The workshops are designed to build confidence and give participants a taste of the performing arts. No experience is necessary. However, plenty of enthusiasm is required.

If you are care experienced or estranged, aged between 12 – 18 and sounds like the kind of things you’d like to get involved with 🎟 sign up for your place here. 

*Updated date* ⏰ Booking deadline: 2nd July

This will be an in-person activity so travel to Glasgow is required.
