CASE MALTA

THE CREATIVE AND SOCIAL ENTREPRENEUR PROGRAMME

In Place of War has partnered with Arts Council Malta to develop a new training and development programme for artists and creative practitioners in Malta - the CASE Malta Programme.

Following a series of focus groups and consultation sessions in 2022 with artists, creatives and grassroots arts organisations, we developed a bespoke programme tailored to the needs of creatives working in Malta. The programme will build capacity, knowledge and skills that will enable opportunities for growth and support creative practitioners in their professional practice. The programme is open to Maltese creatives or those living and working in Malta.

The CASE Programme is an international training and development programme for creative practitioners using social enterprise methods, developed through long-term collaboration with leading grass-roots cultural organisations from around the world. It is certified by the University of Manchester, UK.

The next cycle will take place in February 2024, for which recruitment is now complete. Please scroll down for further information on the programme and how to apply for future cycles.

MORE INFORMATION

The course seemed to happen at just the right moment in my evolution as an entrepreneurial artist. It gave me confidence to believe in my idea and strive to make it happen. I always imagined entrepreneurs to be fearless and I lacked the bite. But what I've seen instead is a drive to share an idea that they want to see put into practice, and that makes the entire experience less daunting.

“I have new understanding on funding opportunities, on healthy ways of networking, and on expanding beyond my niche. I have understood that I must not limit myself to what I know or the circles I am used to, but to look beyond that and look for other opportunities that I had not thought of before. Basically a new understanding of how to approach what I do, where I want to go and how to get there.”


“The course exceeded my expectations - it built a more solid foundational knowledge to producing works, giving us all the frameworks we needed and more to engage in ethical, transparent and best practice.”

“For me, a level of confidence and self worth has brewed within from joining the programme, whereby I no longer carry so much shame when asking for payment for the work that we do. The course has equipped me with knowledge on how to communicate all the details behind my projects, from a good practice perspective, reflection & evaluation, and awareness of the field. I learnt so so much about the scaffolding of a project, and how to navigate the heavy duty work of building one. This is work that becomes invaluable once the project is up and running.”
