Bridging the Gap
Bridging the Gap is a two year full-time course for young people aged 16 -19 years old who are looking for variety, challenge and a different approach to learning.
Bridging the Gap encourages young people to develop themselves through experience, reflection and understanding in a creative way. The course emphasises learning new skills through the crafts, being on the path of self discovery through the arts and developing a coherent world view while working collaboratively with tutors and peers.
Bridging the Gap is funded and accredited through Stroud College, so the course does not charge tuition fees. The first year course begins in September 2012 and there are 16 places.
