This week I had the pleasure of running an Action Learning set with the 2022/23 cohort of Roundhouse Resident Artists – artists between 18 - 25 from the Roundhouse’s brilliant and well-established annual programme that supports the personal and professional development of a cohort of talented emerging creatives. The group has taken part in lots of industry related sessions as their residency comes to an end, but this was their first experience of Action Learning. Alongside my work at Raw Material, I am an accredited Action Learning facilitator. I am often asked what Action Learning is so am taking a moment to share the experience.

The Artists’ Represent Recovery Network is a professional development programme open to 10 London-based, freelance, ethnically diverse artists who identify as black, brown, people of colour who have faced systemic racism, and who are working in arts & health in a participatory or community setting.
