One more reason to become a member: BAFA training sessions with TONIC, our training partners, working towards more inclusive festival practice.

TONIC create training courses specifically for people who work in the arts and are tailored to the nuances of creative environments.

They will offer 4 online sessions, exploring policy, strategy, and how to take practical steps to be more inclusive with your festival practice.

This is provided free to BAFA members, as part of our Resilient Festivals programme. The training is worth over £250 per person and is funded by Arts Council England.

Running this alongside RISE, will mean festivals can actively take these learnings from training into developing ideas and discussions with the RISE peer learning group. Pretty handy.
