Two great new initiatives from NASA UK
Walk and Talk
&
Artist Led Zoom Commission
Walk and Talk – What is it?
A ‘buddy system’ to encourage people to connect and support each other in a more focused way – over the phone, 1 on 1, perhaps once a week. This is voluntary and requires you to sign up to be paired with someone. Great if you’re feeling a bit disconnected, struggling to get your tasks done or feel stuck and could use someone to report back to about your progress.
Artist Led Zoom Commission – What is it?
Thanks to the ACE Emergency funding grant, we are able to pay 12 NASA-UK members to lead 1 hour workshops via zoom. The fee for each facilitating artist is £100.
How to apply
Email zoom@nasauk.org with the subject “I’m interested!”
