DG Creative Wellbeing has launched Creative Toolbox. This is an exciting new youth creative wellbeing programme for young people from across Dumfries & Galloway dealing with low self-esteem, low confidence and/or poor mental health.
The 2024 Creative Toolbox programme explores a variety of art forms focused on storytelling. It aims to boost creativity, broaden horizons, and increase access to further creative opportunities. Professional artists from across D&G and beyond will facilitate sessions.
There is no cost to take part and there is support to access activities.
Participants will document their storytelling journey in a journal, offering personal space for reflection and mindfulness. At the end of the 11-week programme, work will be shared publicly in a large-scale exhibition in August 2024.
Referrals can be made by organisations/support workers or by parents/guardians.
Young person aged 18+ can self-refer.
