WildArts Scotland (SCIO)

About

We work to advance education around mental health and wellbeing in schools and the wider community based in the north-east of Scotland. We empower participants to become increasingly confident to express themselves as individuals. We aim to improve mental health and wellbeing, increasing self-esteem and lowering stress and anxiety. We achieve this through providing access to creative opportunities through arts programmes, prioritising working in and with the natural environment. We deliver expressive arts sessions to Primary and Secondary school students. We work outdoors as much as possible, utilising outdoor space as available, including woods, beach, school grounds. We create a safe, non-judgemental space, where participants feel accepted and free to be themselves. Expressive arts activities to include. exploring identity, print making, mark making, creating and decorating personal spaces, making creatures from clay and natural materials.
