Arts, culture & heritage

Arts, culture & heritage

Our project was focused on making the arts more accessible to children and younger people. It combined being creative with providing an opportunity to improve literacy and reading skills. Attendees were asked to write a short story, develop characters, with illustrations and read their story to the group. All who participated have learnt a new art skill and improved their confidence.
