Building Bridges

For marginalised groups, communities affected by conflict, peacebuilders and NGOs – workshops and training helping to prevent, reduce or assist recovery from conflict and trauma, and to give voice.

Making art together is an effective, fun and inclusive way to overcome difference and encourage conversation, collaboration, creative thinking and cohesion across all levels of your working living and/ or environment.

Every group leaves with a finished piece of artwork as a powerful, visual reminder of the team working together.

‘There is no doubt that the sessions improved the lives of those involved and have played a part in making the Dartmoor community a little safer. ….. The wonderful [art]work up on the walls, is a credit to the participants and its presence will brighten up the day for those who pass by.’
