Shining light on skills and experience

Acknowledging an individual's skills and experience is empowering and can lead to a deep understanding between people. Participants will be involved in each stage of the project so that it becomes a shared endeavour in which participants can find a new creative outlet. Whether it's a community theatre project, an oral history project, a story book, or an issue lead piece of work, this work triumphs in celebrating each person's contribution.
