COVID Cartography

Are you interested in learning how to create art, music, theatre or dance through community stories and social cartography? 

Social Cartography is participatory method of research and maps out space, relationships and experiences of people. In the past we have used this method to deliver social prescribed activity as a creative and meaningful way to provide people with support for their mental and physical health and wellbeing. 

This workshop will be using the topic of Covid, exploring post and pre relationships, thoughts, and feelings. Our model helps individuals develop creative skills through storytelling, allowing them to express their feelings and emotions in a safe, supportive environment.

Lunch will be provided and travel reimbursed (provide a ticket/ photo/ receipt) 

There are two dates for this workshop, 16th May and 23rd May 1:30pm - 4Pm. You do not need to attend both, but welcome to if you want.
