Write a Sheffield Adventure
Dear Partners,

The original idea behind the Sheffield Adventures was to offer easily accessible, free, high-quality creative ideas and activities that use Sheffield as inspiration or learning resource that would take children, young people, families and school or community groups on an adventure all around our wonderful city.

The plan was that they would develop as an idea that others would take on, writing their own Adventures and sharing them with others. Unfortunately, their launch date coincided with the start of lockdown #1 in March 2020, many of them had to be re-written as #homeadventures. There are now 51 on the website that have been used 5,500+ times. You can visit our current Adventures here; https://www.createsheffield.co.uk/adventures 

We would encourage anyone to write an Adventure by using the format we have developed (see link below). Additionally, we are looking to commission some of our Create Sheffield arts and cultural Partners to write 3 new Sheffield Adventures (and test them in the community) whilst also offering training and support so all Partners can write and submit their own Adventures.

- Please read our 'How to Write a Sheffield Adventure' instructional document here; https://www.canva.com/design/DAEdncFmIkI/XXBp1JYv9SO8MYq7vEVRQg/view?utm_content=DAEdncFmIkI&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=sharebutton

- Watch our 'How to Make a Sheffield Adventure' online training here (link to video coming soon).

- Deadline for the first round of applications is Friday 18th June, midday.

- We will share our decisions on the commissioning process by Wednesday 23rd June and discuss with you further how you might like to be involved.

- Sheffield Adventure delivery dates are from 23rd July to the end of August (but they will then become part of the Adventures on the website and so can be used anytime.)

The suggested allocation of the Adventure commissioning pot is as follows (this is explained further in our training session) ;
-Training & evaluation time - £250
-Writing - £250
-Testing phase - £250
-Exploring co-design (workshops with young people) - £250 x 2
-Materials - £250
Total - £1500

We look forward to reading your ideas
