GD Training & Development Opportunities 

IGNITE Training Course:

Thanks to the South West Foundation, GD is running a pilot 12-day course in central Gloucester to develop the skills of disabled and D/deaf adults aged 16+.  The course is FREE to some disabled or D/deaf artists based in the South West.

The course is led by nationally renowned specialists including Marc Brew, Louise Katerega, StopGap Dance Company and Sarah Pickthall.  Download more information regarding the trainers here.

Inclusion Needs You - Training for Mainstream Dance Providers

GD is pleased to have partnered with Gloucestershire County Council to provide the dance element of this free training programme.

It is aimed at any out-of-school activity provider who wants to welcome disabled children and young people to access their mainstream activity.

The programme is split into four sessions between September and June:

  • session 1: introductory inclusion training
  • session 2: sector specific training (including dance)
  • session 3: workshop on overcoming barriers to communication and informal networking
  • session 4: workshop focusing on basic autism training and informal networking
