CONNECT: Training and professional development programme ​for organisations, teams, and individuals​.

​The CONNECT training and professional development programme offers dynamic and effective approaches to developing leadership practice, engaging communication, presentation skills, team dynamics, digital facilitation and emotional resilience & well-being. 

Our programme and delivery uses a unique combination of practice from the creative sector, and theory, practice, and research from the social sciences to lead participants through a practical training process of identifying personal strengths, increasing knowledge, and developing new skills.

CONNECT is a flexible training and professional development programme designed in response to the contemporary business and professional landscape, and is grounded in the real world with practical applicability. Our sessions and training can be delivered in-person at a venue or via Zoom (or a mixture of both!).

Clients can book one-off specific sessions, multi-session programmes, sign up to open workshops, or we can work with you to come up with something more bespoke.​ As part of our offer, our Business Development Manager will support you to decide on what training is most suited to your needs and to get the most out of your budget.

The CONNECT programme is delivered by experienced facilitators, directors and creative practitioners in environments which are genuinely supportive and accessible. Our skills workshops provide rich learning opportunities for groups and individuals, with participants ranging from large corporate companies and public bodies to SMEs and sole traders.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TRAINING WITH A
​SOCIAL PURPOSE

By taking part in one of our workshops, or buying in CONNECT training for your organisation, not only will you be receiving high-quality, specialised training from an experienced and knowledgeable team, but you will also be supporting Mortal Fools’ work with children and young people across the North East.

Mortal Fools is a registered charity. Our CONNECT training programme income is used to subsidise our work with children and young people. This includes using drama and theatre to support the skills development, group working and well-being of some highly vulnerable and isolated young people.
