‘Permission to spend time and focus creating on my own, guided without judgement, helped me to feel calm and free.’
‘Everyone seemed to be equally engaged – it felt meaningful and focussed, without expectations to be an experienced or accomplished artist.’
‘Useful for illiterate beneficiaries as an alternative means of conveying message and expression.’
‘The collaborative part of the activity encouraged teamwork, respecting others’ ideas and helping to overcome disagreement.’
‘Simple, affordable materials make it accessible for wide-ranging communities and easy to implement.’
