Our four creative associates are currently taking part in a series of multi-disciplinary workshops with our creative and cultural partners during Phase 1 of the re:imagine project.

The two-hour workshops run throughout October 2023 to March 2024, and are providing a unique opportunity for our four creative associates to work with industry experts in their chosen fields. The workshops are helping our creative associates to build a creative toolkit that can be used to inform their Phase 1 individual reflective practice, and later Phase 2 creative outcomes.

Some of our creative partners who are supporting re:imagine can be seen in the slideshow below. You can learn more about all our re:imagine creative partners by clicking here, or using the ‘Meet our Creative Partners’ navigation link at the top of this page.

Phase 1 :

Reflective Practice

Phase 1 also looks at the role of reflection in self-development. Our creative associates are currently being introduced to various approaches and models for reflective practice, and will maintain a personal reflective journal that documents their journey whilst on the re:imagine project.

Bi-annual counsellor-led group restorative supervision sessions also supports this process. More details about these sessions can be found by clicking here, or using the ‘Well-being Support’ navigation link at the top of this page.
