As part of the Start Up Gathering, Waterford City Enterprise
Centre and Dungarvan Enterprise Centre, in association with Waterford LEO, have
come together to present a unique creativity accelerator called ‘The
Playground’ on Tue 6th October.
‘The Playground’ will take place in
Central Arts in Waterford and is a creativity workshop with a difference. The
workshop is facilitated by three experts in the areas of creativity, idea
generation and action planning. Participants will be brought through three
different phases in one day; going from creative brainstorming to idea
generation and acumination, and resulting in a solid ‘beermat business plan’
that can be actioned immediately.
Running from 9.30-17.00 the workshop is open to people with
a business idea, people who are in early stage business and those who have been
running a business for some time. We are looking for people who might have a
business idea but need help honing and developing that idea. We are also
looking for people who are operating a business but who might be looking at
developing innovation in their business, improving efficiencies, or who might
be considering diversification. We have carefully selected three facilitators
from the Arts, Creativity and Business disciplines and we are excited to be
able to deliver this action-focused workshop as part of the events taking place
for the Start-Up Gathering.
Creativity or left brain activity is often neglected on a
daily basis as people get caught up in focusing on daily tasks, operations,
accounts, admin issues and generally “getting the job done”. This workshop
offers an opportunity to take a step back, free your mind from its inhibitors
and open yourself to lateral thinking that will ultimately benefit your bottom
line. The workshop includes idea sharpening and action planning phases that
will ensure you take advantage of the ideas you have generated.
The workshop is free to attend for
successful applicants. Registration is via competitive call, with application
forms available to anyone in business or thinking of setting up a business.
Applications are open until Friday 25th September at 5PM and
applications are available from dungarvanec@gmail.com
