If you are interested in any of these, please register your interest today so we can start making it happen!

TALENT WORKSHOPS

We will be running eight monthly workshops for children aged between 14 and 16 from January 2018 to enable children to discover their talent. Workshops will take place between 10am and 1pm on Saturday mornings.

Workshops will be run by qualified, DBS checked, coaches and mentors on a voluntary basis. Children will work through talent manuals and at the end of eight months, if the members have successfully completed these and attended all eight workshops, they will be awarded a certificate and we will find opportunities, including voluntary positions, competitions (including our very own WORTHING IDOL and STEM IDOL), internships and apprenticeships for our members to use and strengthen their talent.

Once members have successfully completed two years, they can become golden buddy members which means they can become peer mentors. Peer mentors don’t have to pay for membership for as long as they are giving back.

This is our first year and we are finding our feet, please note that the nature of the workshops will most likely evolve. Family support is essential in order for children to succeed.

WORTHING IDOL

We have held two Worthing Idols in 2010 and 2011 – you can see some of the video clips here. Worthing Idol is fantastic platform for children who have discovered that they are talented in singing, dancing and music. It is an opportunity to showcase your talent. Winners are awarded funding to develop their talent. We use our marketing talents to get you in the press where possible.

Spaces are limited for Worthing Idol – a maximum of 20 contestants will perform and there is a first, second and third prize. The entrance fee is £5 and this helps us cover some of the costs of promoting the event.

Once we have enough entrants, we will arrange an audition date and invite you along. You will be expected to supply your own music and we will make arrangements with you nearer the time as the best format.

Worthing Idol 2019 will be arranged once we understand the number of entrants, so don’t delay, register today.

STEM IDOL

STEM IDOL is an idea that has been rattling around in our heads for a while now. Our philosophy is that if the singers and dancers get an event, why can’t the STEM have their own event too. We need to gauge demand for this event,  if you are aged between 10 and 16 and you have discovered they have a talent in either Science, Technology, Engineering and/or Maths (STEMs), register your interest today.

You will need to think of the most effective way to showcase your talent, whether it be an invention, a product you have made.

As with WORTHING IDOL, there will a £5 entry fee which will go towards the costs of running this event. As it is a new event, please expect the concept to evolve. Take a look at Coastal Stemfest and Stem Sussex for inspiration and ideas.

STEM IDOL will:

  • Inspire and encourage the Scientists, Technologists, Engineers and Mathematicians of the future
  • Forge important links between schools and businesses in the STEM community
  • Provide young people with exciting hands-on experiences of the latest innovations in science and technology.
