# ASDAN

## ASDAN

## ASDAN Short Courses help students develop personal ideas, creativity and real-world skills. There are lots of options — Sports, Cooking, Photography, Animal Care, Computing, Gardening, Enterprise and more.

## Students chose the Expressive Arts Short Course because it is flexible, creative and supports individual growth — but they can choose a different course if they prefer. You can explore all courses here: [www.asdan.org.uk/courses/short-courses](http://www.asdan.org.uk/courses/short-courses)
