With an ethos of Explore, Participate, Create our work falls into two main strands:
-
Creative Social Geography - We use the arts to (re) connect people with each other and the world around them by nurturing a sense of identity and belonging and exploring how the natural and man-made environment shapes and influences people’s lives and how people, in turn, have shaped and influenced the landscape.
-
Creative Cultural Wellbeing - We use the arts to nurture caring, healthy, culturally connected communities by building relationships, enabling self-expression, developing skills, celebrating difference and supporting people to work together creatively.
