Future Communities engages adults in creative technology education and opportunities. Each person and every community is different and to reflect this so is our approach to our work. We listen to their hopes, dreams, aspirations and opinions and then share our knowledge, skills and experiences to inspire them to realise that this is all possible by embracing a world of creative technology.

Learning this way enables our participants to keep up with their peers and sparks the passion to take on new challenges in their lives.

Stage 1 - Outreach Workshops and Projects
Informal, relaxed, highly engaging, hands on, explores creativity and skills, and high quality. We...

1) run our own funded projects and courses at our base and as an Outreach service, or
2) we can be commissioned by your organisation or scheme to run projects and courses either at our base or as an Outreach service to your venue(s)

Stage 2 - Creative Drop In Facility
We will soon be opening up a creative drop in evenings for those who need access to great facilities to get on with a project or to practice, and at a ridiculously cheap rate.

Stage 3 - Professional Training
We also offer professional beginners and advanced courses for individuals in Ableton Live with our Certified Ableton Trainer. More information on this will be coming shortly.
