Hello
I wanted to share that we have great opportunities for anyone in North Yorkshire looking to upskill in maths, English, and IT. We're offering a free programme called Step Up, and once you complete the entrance paperwork, you can attend as many events as you like!
To get started, please fill out the sign-up link, and we can either call you to finalise the paperwork or complete it in person on the day.
If you've already signed up for Step Up with me, just reply to this email and let me know you're coming!
What is on offer
Here is the online zoom coming up soon
Monday 23rd February 2026
Time 10:00 - 11:30 via Zoom
What Does Listening Mean to You?
Join Rebecca as she explores your five senses and introduces an exciting project about listening. This opportunity is available for participants in the Step Up and Rise to Thrive programme in North Yorkshire. We will be feeding into a project called Ways of Listening, a partnership between The Evelyn Glennie Foundation and Cities and Memory: https://www.evelynglennie.foundation/stories/ways-of-listening-a-global-creative-project-with-cities-and-memory/
Each day, you will receive a new photographic prompt to your email designed to enhance your awareness of your senses. You can share your experiences and interact with your local Mindful Photography Community through a facilitated WhatsApp group. If you're interested, you can also submit an entry to the Ways of Listening project with Rebecca's support.
