Arts in Mind
Hull & East Yorkshire Mind’s Arts In Mind project is a fun, interactive project that offers vulnerable children in Hull the opportunity to increase their self-esteem, confidence and emotional wellbeing by engaging with a wide range of art forms.
‘Arts in Mind’ gives disadvantaged children the opportunity to work with professional artists and arts practitioners in a safe and non-threatening environment, thus widening their experiences as well as raising their self-esteem and aspirations.
In order to give vulnerable children the kind of support they need, the Mental Health Promotion Arts Worker also works with several pre-existing groups withdrawn from the mainstream school curriculum, such as children attending School Offsite Units and Special Schools.
During the 2008-2009 the project has engaged with 6 schools across the city and continues to make contact with children who can benefit from an arts project such as this.
