Creative Futures Academy Launch Professional Certificate in Creative Learning
Creative Futures Academy (CFA) at NCAD, in collaboration with Rua Red, are excited to officially launch their new programme Professional Certificate in Creative Learning led by independent curator, writer, educator, and cultural event producer, Brendan Fox.
This innovative programme explores the transformative potential of creative teaching across diverse educational and community settings and was opened on Saturday 7th June as part of the NCAD WORKS 2025 MFA Fine Art Graduate Show at Rua Red.
In advance of the launch, Brendan Fox noted: “The Professional Certificate in Creative Learning invites participants to engage deeply with real-world practices and ideas, positioning them as active agents in their own learning. We’re excited to be collaborating with Rua Red on this important initiative that supports professional growth and creative leadership.”
At the launch, Professor Sarah Glennie, Director of NCAD commented: “NCAD’s graduates are the pipeline that drive Ireland’s creative and cultural sectors and their work will have an impact across society in years to come. Their own lived experience of our complex world is central to our graduates’ work. As part of their journey, NCAD students have the opportunity to develop their creative practice beyond the walls of campus through long-term engagements with community partners and collaborators in a range of settings. These collaborations expand their experience and understanding of key societal issues such as housing, cultural identity and social cohesion and climate crises, and are reflected in their final projects.”
