Inclusion
Through collaboration, we ensure all participants are fully immersed in the activity, to develop a true sense of belonging within the group. During larger projects, sharing work publicly develops a further sense of belonging to the wider community.
Confidence
We delight in seeing the joy shared by participants, and the increased self-esteem, workshops can inspire. We help participants to be confident through experimentation and complete ownership of the work throughout.
By facilitating the development of larger collaborative final outcomes, and authentically representing the work publicly, is incredibly empowering for all project participants.
Wellbeing
By creating a welcoming and fun environment through workshops and projects, this has the effect of reducing negative emotions and increasing positive emotions.
Reducing stress and anxiety
It is generally accepted that creating art can be very therapeutic. Making all activities engaging and absorbing allows the participants the opportunity to focus creatively and rest the mind. Where people have previously been distracted or agitated by their condition or illness, we can see first-hand, the soothing effect creative engagement can have.
Reinforcing a growth mindset
All workshops and projects encourage critical thinking and problem solving. Through reflection, we encourage continuous self-development.
Taking Risks
A fear of failure or criticism can become increasingly inhibitive, so we encourage participants to 'go for it' and see what happens. It's sometimes something unexpected...but always something good!
Supporting education
In a changing educational landscape it can be hard for schools to strike a balance whilst meeting EBACC and STEM priorities. All school projects are managed by Arts Clubhouse to support schools in delivering balanced, cross-curricular activities.
Collaboration
Workshops and projects offer a great team building opportunity. Participants are given the tools and the language to support each other in their creative pursuits
