SUMMARY:EqAF Creative Connections Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Creative Connections is a youth-focused Mental Health Month workshop that uses creativity and connection as pathways to wellbeing. Designed as a 1.5 hour session delivered onsite for community at the Glebe Youth Centre (on the lands of the Gadigal Peoples of the Eora Nation)\, this event brings together young people aged 12 -18 years for collaborative artmaking\, reflective activity\, and facilitated conversations. \nCentered around the Mental Health Month theme\, “A Little Connection Goes a Long Way\,” the workshop celebrates youth voice and community spirit. A key feature of the session is the creation of a collective artwork titled “Threads of Connection\,” where participants reflect on the people\, places\, and experiences that help them thrive and capture those insights through a shared artmaking process.
