The?Connecting Culture research project, led by the Arts and Culture team at the University, has launched its ambitious ‘Creative Consultation’ programme of artist-led creative workshops for children and young people in 天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载.

LtR Nazneen Ahmed, Natalie Watson and Faye Phillips

Following delays caused by 天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载, the first workshops took place at Polygon and Bitterne Park Primary schools in the first week of May, and around 1000 children and young people from across the city are expected to take part.

In the sessions, led by 天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载 artists Nazneen Ahmed, Natalie Watson and Faye Phillips (pictured), groups of young people explored what culture and creativity in 天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载 means to them. The workshop themes span visual art, creative writing and dance and so the young participants will hopefully have lots of fun whilst making art and sharing their ideas, aided by specially designed creative activity packs. Participants will also earn Arts Award Discover?certificate.
