Our courses have been designed with educationalists, industry experts and Psychologists to provide space for young people to find their own voices and learn and grow in a way that is unique for them. A combination of group sessions and one-to-one mentoring sessions provides a safe and supportive environment to learn, speak openly, ask questions, and receive practical tools and guidance.
CREATE
CREATE is an online and in person residency program, which uses creative and artistic techniques to help every young person learn creative skills and implement key social-emotional skills. The sessions, taught by industry level professional artists, help students successfully process and navigate their own unique stories whilst getting hands on industry experience.
Pure Creative Arts & Social-Emotional Learning
Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) experts at CASEL (The Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning) say students’ social and emotional health benefits greatly when they “reflect on and document…what they’ve learned about themselves…either through journal writing, artwork, music, or other creative outlets.”
CREATE is available online or in person for a residency. If you or a group of students you know would like to participate in CREATE please email us at info@purecreativearts.org and we can set up a private group for you.
