How can we draw on the power of the heart, the fire of the imagination, and the dynamism of the body to empower social change through our creativity?
This week long event will bring together a group of richly talented facilitators and practitioners to share and explore creative tools that can be used in a variety of social change settings. This version of the course is designed and delivered by members of the Moving Sounds collective. The autumn 2017 version of the course filled so quickly we thought we should remix and re-release it by dope demand! It will take a cross/multi-disciplinary approach, drawing on the arts, social permaculture , nature connection and mindfulness – and applying these to community empowerment , project development and regenerative activism.
