Supporting confidence, mental health and wellbeing for young adults (16 - 25)

The Corn Exchange has been developing our arts and health programme for the past 3 years. As part of this wider initiative, Create a Space works with NEET (not in employment, education or training) young people and students in secondary school settings, to provide opportunities for personal development and social re-connection through engagement in practical arts-based learning.

What does the course involve?

Create a Space is a 6 week course which has been designed to support the development of young people by increasing their confidence, encouraging positive thinking and helping to raise aspirations. Each course is led by two experienced drama practitioners who will work through a range of drama activities and vocal work. Activities focus on confidence building, resilience, ways of combatting stress and finding your voice, and will develop skills in teamwork, trust and self confidence, positive thinking, and presentation skills.

This course runs as part of our wider Careers through the Arts programme, funded by Greenham Trust and is free of charge for schools.
