Do you work for a school or youth organisation?
We are offering a 90-minute Creative Wellbeing Workshop to new schools or youth organisations engaging with us for the first time.
​
Our creative well-being workshops are great for young people because they nurture self-expression, boost confidence, and promote mental well-being in a fun and supportive environment.
​​​
Each session spans 90 minutes, providing an immersive experience that fosters creativity and improves
mental well-being.
​
“Tapping into our innate creativity (yes, we all have it!) and unleashing our imagination can help with processing emotions, reducing anxiety, improving self-esteem, and boosting our overall mental health.”
Sylvie Meltzer, Creative Director at Satellite Foundation
​
Our workshops feature ever-changing themes, ensuring fresh and engaging content. Young people not only engage in hands-on activities but also have the opportunity to create unique wooden products crafted from reclaimed birch plywood.
These products showcase relevant and innovative designs, reflecting the interests and preferences of the
young participants.
At the end of each workshop, participants get to take home their creations, serving as tangible reminders of their
creative journey.
All materials necessary for the workshops are included, and we can accommodate groups of up to 30 people at a time, ensuring a personalised and impactful experience for every young person.
​
“It was a great experience for our students, particularly some of our most
disadvantaged pupils.
Providing them with a fun activity, the students were able to express themselves and their creativity.
Students explained that they found the activity calming, especially the Year 11 students who are approaching their exams.”
