Art of life workshops include exercises, activities, tasks and projects that are designed to engage,encourage and enable students and participants to explore and address a variety of subjects and issues.

The workshops encourage participants to feel comfortable and positive about expressing their individuality. This enables them to develop the confidence to explore effective and unique ways to comminicate with others and document their thoughts, feelings and ideas in new creative ways.



Our workshops take place within schools, prisons, drug and alcohol treatment centres that have residential and day centre facilities, youth clubs, colleges, community settings and within the public and private sectors.

We have over 500 structured workshops that range from one hour in length to one year. Additionally we specialise in tailor-made workshops and courses that reflect the specific requirements and needs of the client groups and organisations we work with.

Each workshop also involves facilitators working with you to develop a website which will enable you to store all your creative work and any other information you may want to include. This will result in you having a great visually engaging, interactive archive that reflects the diverse and worthwhile work you do.

Through our workshops and courses we look at diverse ways to explore and approach issues and subjects, deliver groups/training and produce resources.

This multi-sensory approach to training is designed to give organisations and individuals the opportunity to learn new invaluable and effective tools and techniques that can be applied to all aspects of their work.

The art of life LIFE MAP is an excellent tool that students use to write down their thoughts, ideas, feelings on different subjects, issues, experiences and ideas they would like to explore. It enables them to see the different elements and aspects of their life mapped out in front of them. They are able to make connections and visualise their current situation, reflect on past situations and look at the positive changes that they can make to their lives and the new paths they would like to explore. Students can also use their life map to structure work and develop ideas and make notes.

We also have a multi-sensory range of creative toolkits which include booklets, cd-roms and games. The great thing about the creative toolkits is that they can be applied to any discipline, subject, and audience. Additionally students and particpants can build on the creative toolkits and develop their own creative toolkits with the resources provided. This makes it more personal and significant as it will relateto their own experiences, interests and skills.

The workshops are structured using effective lesson plans that are split into sections. This includes the time allocated to a particular exercise, the resources and materials used and the creative art forms that we will be using for the particular workshop.

We design questionnaires for every workshop in order to elicit ideas and encourage ideas and thinking in students because we want them to explore and develop ideas with confidence and enthusiasm.

We assess how they feel about what they are learning, identify what they would like to explore and how the particular workshop can be applied to other areas in their life (other subjects they are studying, relationships, self-development, self-esteem, communication skills etc)

Workshop DVD

We produce a free DVD of each workshop we facilitate. Teachers, groupworkers, keyworkers and all other staff can use this as a resource within their teaching and training.

Additionally the dvd demonstrates the wide range of creative tools and techniques that you can use within your group work, one-to-one work and teaching. This helps to elicit ideas, encourage and guide students into exploring issues and documenting their thoughts and feelings in productive and positive ways.

As a result students are able to produce a portfolio work, participate positively, creatively and effectively in groupwork projects and performances that are both inspiring and thought provoking.
