Common Ground

Venue: Heart of Hawick

Common Ground is a skill-sharing programme for creatives, creative organisations and groups in the Borders facilitated by Alchemy Film & Arts, Hugo Burge Foundation, Creative Coathanger and CABN.
These multi-artform, creative development organisations have different approaches and focuses– with the common ground of developing skills and supporting creativity in the Borders and beyond. We are working together to invite enquiry, conversation and share our learning through a series of themed days. This is the first of three sessions we will be offering this year.
This session explores approaches to engaging people within creative practice.
It is designed for:
- Individual creatives interested in working within community settings
- Organisations or groups seeking to expand their community engagement, social impact, or participatory approaches
The day blends practical insights, case studies, and reflective discussion.
