Education, Training, & Skills
Education
Over the past 12 years Perfect Moment has worked on a range of projects within the education and youth work sectors. We have helped a number of schools attain Specialist Arts College Status (Wilnecote High School in Tamworth, Kidbrooke School in Greenwich, and Cape Cornwall in St Just). We have also undertaken Youth Arts Strategies, Feasibilty Studies, and Project Development (e.g. Waltham Forest Youth Arts Strategy, a youth arts festival in Cumbria, music industry development with Cornwall Youth Music Action Zone, evaluation for London Youth Music Action Zone). Many recent projects in Cornwall have involved delivering on behalf of Creative Partnerships in Cornwall.
Training
Perfect Moment have been heavily involved in the Training and Skills agenda for the Creative Sector. For Prevista, we worked with the Bankside Arts Training Trust delivering a capacity building programme to creative organisations within Lambeth and Southwark, helped design and build online careers and learning programmes for Metier (the former National Training Organisation for the Sector) and assisted with feasibility work on a range of DfES media centres. We have also recently assisted CSV Media with business planning and funding applications for South West operations. We also worked with a Media Training Provider in West London (Connections Communications Centre) to help them with research and business planning with On Track, an online solution to a range of training provider needs
Skills
We have a track record of research in skills (we recently completed skills research as part of the Building Creative Success work in Devon and conducted a major piece of research into education, training and business support provision in Thames Gateway for LSC London East and Thames Gateway London Partnership). We also wrote a Skills report for the LSC entitled Delivering What the Sector Needs
We have assisted Cornwall Marine Network in the development of a local sector skills agreement with LSC Devon and Cornwall and are currently working on one for the Creative Sector.
Perfect Moment have also worked since 1998 as project consultants to Creative Skills in Cornwall. The project is now the leading one of its kind in the UK with strong links with Truro College (F.E.) and Dartington College (H.E.). It is a sector-led initiative delivering annually, to 300 practitioners, a range of training and support services.
We also developed the Business Plan for ArtsMatrix, the South West arm of Arts Council England's Creative people programme of Continuing Professional Development Programme.
