Daisi provides support, advice and development opportunities for those working in arts and education. We can support you to work with professional artists in your school, learning community or other setting.

Daisi can help you design an inspiring arts experience to meet a range of young people's learning needs, and to find the right quality-assured artist for you. The benefits include:

• Gaining personal and vocational skills such as confidence and self determination
• Learning new art form skills, including specific techniques
• Deepening understanding, for example of other cultures or concepts from across the curriculum (e.g. scientific principles, historical insights)
• Fostering community, celebrating achievement, making a contribution
• Opportunities to be inspired and have creative experiences
• A legacy of know-how, transferable skills and local creative and cultural contacts and resources

We can help you plan a one-off workshop, longer project, regular weekly sessions, out -of-hours provision, family learning opportunities or collaborations across your learning community.

Daisi offers a range of continuing professional development opportunities, including INSET, and can help you develop the arts opportunities offered in your setting. We provide training and information for current national programmes Artsmark and Arts Award.

Daisi also initiates and develops strategic arts projects with specific groups or localities, or to meet specific needs. Daisi runs commissioned programmes including the Devon County Council funded 3D A Chance to Dance and DYT (Devon Youth Theatre).
