Dylan, Tarka & Leo have all taken part in work placements at Rumpus Room. This manual is an open resource that outlines RR’s commitment to hosting ethical work placements. As a free to download pdf, we hope it can be used as a reference point for arts organisations, students and universities to consider how work placements can be conducted in non-exploitative, enriching, formative and imaginative ways. You can view the full pdf via our issu page or download it direct from our linktree or buy a printed copy from our shop. Please use it and share it!
