The PIYN project involves aspiring artists and performers from Auckland's diverse communities, working with the best of contemporary UK talent, to collaborate, create and celebrate. The programme involves capacity building workshops, online and face to face collaborations and master-classes in creativity.

We welcome our Australian friends to the pilot programme for the PIYN project in Australia. Firstly we are seeking registrations for a FREE online creative toolkit that has been under development for the past three years in the NZ programme. Helen Baxter (UK/NZ) from Mohawk Media, presents an online toolkit for creative practitioners across the various artforms - with a focus on income generation, newly developed marketplaces, and developing an effective online presence. The Creative Business Toolkit takes group of 25 creative entrepreneurs, who will learn about the tools used to run a modern creative company, and take a guided tour of online places to publish work and earn money. Participants will be shown blog start-up and/or enhancement using the WordPress platform, focusing on PayPal and donation systems, event management, mobile streaming and social media marketing tools. Mindmap materials will detail creative business structure & resources, and widgets for publishing.  The day will finish off with a social media masterclass, and participants will leave with a personalised strategy, action plan and toolkit for their creative practice.
