Health & Well being
"Engage your mind each day"
​
In this session we will use painting, writing and discussion to explore emotions in order to restore or settle inner peace. By reflecting on key words (home, belonging, safety, family, community, peace, love, etc.) all participants will be invited and supported to recall their best and most unforgettable memories and recreate the moment and its sensations through painting, creative writing, sharing, etc.

Refugee & Migration
"Being a Refugee is an experience not an identity"
​
This session will create a space for dialogue around these issues (refugee, migrant, identity, home, cultural exchange, etc.), encouraging us to challenge our assumptions and explore our connections with each other and the wider world.
Together we will reflect on and visualise the words: ‘refugee’ and ‘migrant’, exploring what they mean to us and what meaning is attributed to them in the current political climate. Participants will then be invited to reflect on their own identity and their connections and experiences to create a collective world map - with words and images. Each participant will have the opportunity to produce their own mixed media composition on the subject. Then have an evaluation study of the work.

Art & Therapy
From well-being to self-care and empathy, this workshop will support all participants to learn about using art as a tool to build confidence and maintenance of good mental health. The session will develop from a body map exercise of self-reflection and recognition of oneself where we will explore and share our roots, skills, dreams, passions and strengths. Participants will then be supported to develop a self-portrait (abstract or symbolism) of their inner being.

Art & Advocacy
This workshop will explore real events and stories, to learn about how we can use art to communicate messages and raise awareness. The session will give all participants the essential creative tools to tackle stigma and discrimination and advocate for change. Participants will be supported to challenge themselves as well as others, to question things and think outside the box – by reflecting on what they want to change within themselves, in their local community and in the wider world. We will use key words to create collective poetry with images, to then share and develop in any possible creative way.
