Curious about freelancing? Join The NewBridge Project for the third of their UpSkill sessions when they will be joined by Leila d’Aronville, founder of North East Cultural Freelancers and a guiding light in the precarious world of the freelancing. This event is also open and free to members of the Kaleidoscope Network.
In this workshop, you will explore the advantages and disadvantages of freelancing. We’ll cover practical and legal aspects and support and well-being strategies. Gain insights into avoiding common pitfalls and discover top tips for success, including:
Intellectual property and copyright
Setting up as a sole trader, along with banking and accounting tips
Insurance, trade unions, and contracts
Achieving a healthy work/life balance
Important things to know
If you opt to attend remotely, a member of staff will contact you on the day of the workshop with a Zoom link and more info about the session and a digital code of conduct. If attending in person, arrive from 10:45am for a prompt 11am start.
This is an interactive session, and we encourage you to ask questions, share your suggestions, and actively participate in activities and discussions. If you prefer to listen, that’s perfectly fine too!
This is a hybrid event and will take place both online and in real life.
What you need
We will provide paper and pens. Feel free to bring your laptop, tablet, phone, or your preferred device.
Please ensure you have a ticket for this session. Book one in the link!
Kaleidoscope Network:
The Kaleidoscope Network is a collaboration between Spike Island (Bristol), Eastside Projects (Birmingham), Primary (Nottingham), The NewBridge Project (Newcastle) and Bloc Projects (Sheffield). Formed in response to a need for mutual support, the network has come together as a way to share resources, increase what each partner is able to offer and create new connections between communities of artists. It also offers professional development for the associated partners learning from one another. Membership to any of the above organisations automatically makes you part of the Kaleidoscope Network.
Primary Residents and Members are automatically part of the Kaleidoscope Network and can attend selected events programmed by each partner for free.
