Role
Workshop Facilitator
Location
Sainsbury Centre, Norwich
Project type
Nature workshop
Organisation
Young Norfolk Arts Festival 2022
Along with two fellow members of Young Norfolk Arts Collective, I facilitated a family friendly workshop inspired by the themes of nature and home. With a short guided nature walk in the woodlands next to the Sainsbury Centre, participants collected objects to create their own mini ‘home in nature’.
With the option of being creative stationary, and via a walk, we considered the access and neurodiverse requirements of our group of diverse families. We also took into consideration the impact of didactic climate change conversations on young people’s mental health and felt that a space for families to reconnect with nature in a relaxed, open, and tactile manner was a dynamic way in which to establish (re)connection with our environment.
