11 x 11 Educators Workshop: Supporting Creativity, with Richard Phoenix

Led by artist Richard Phoenix, in this workshop, you’ll explore ways to embed young people-led practice into creative projects, particularly within Special Educational Needs and Disabilities settings.

Richard will provide starting points for art, music, video and podcasting activities that put young people at the centre. You’ll explore possibilities for online delivery and how these can translate to in-person contexts.

Drawing on his experience of co-creating projects with learning disabled young people, Richard will show how this approach can support young people’s creative agency and confidence to flourish.
