Our project will focus on developing resources and training for teachers, enabling them to develop lessons within existing curricula that involve all of the components of this project, which aims to take creative arts experts and teaching professionals on a journey to create lessons/activities that use a range of creative arts media to engage learners to express their emotions/feelings. Many have these feelings pent up within themselves without an outlet for ‘unpacking’ their feelings, or someone to talk to or the language to express themselves.

The partnership is made of 6 schools, 4 creative arts experts and 2 education support organisations that will work as a PLC. They will jointly evaluate the starting point and final impact of the project on the role of Creative Arts methodology within schools as one of the support mechanisms to improve students’ health & emotional wellbeing.
