How to get support
All students will participate in CETL projects as part of their course. However, we hope you will work with the CETL outside of your assessed modules. We encourage and support all students who come to us with their own ideas for projects and we help them to turn these ideas into reality.
The CETL is all about Inclusivity and Innovation; we know that music students in the North East represent a highly creative and enterprising group and we want to ensure that students from all backgrounds and with all musical interests are able to take their own ideas forward.
You may be part of an ensemble or band and want to look at promotion; you may be a composer looking at ways to put your work out in the public domain; you may have a research interest that connects closely to one of the CETL research areas; you may want to run a charity event or competition where you bring musicians together.
How can you get support for these activities?
- Have a good look around the CETL website and consider where your idea might connect with a project
- Talk to staff directly connected to the CETL in your university about your idea. If you are not sure who this is contact Dawn Weatherston and she will put you in touch with the right person
- Talk to the Enterprise Centre in your institution – they will be very keen to encourage enterprising ideas linked to the cultural sector and may have funding available
- Think about how you might be able to help publicise the CETL to new audiences in exchange for sponsorship, eg including the CETL logo on your band’s publicity
