Led by a practicing artist, experienced in working with young people who benefit from specialist learning, this course is for teachers and staff working with students from Pupil Referral Units (PRU) and students with emotional and behavioural difficulties (EBD). It explores the potential of art to encourage new perspectives and divergent thinking, employing alternative and playful approaches designed to enable students to take ownership of the building.

This course offers:

• Appropriate creative, practical and educational strategies to meet the learning needs of individuals and promote confidence
• A diverse range of materials and techniques designed to enable young people to engage with art and generate dialogue
• Methods for active engagement with the building and the collection as a resource for teaching and learning
• Examples of contemporary practice that might resonate with young people and their everyday lives.
