St Martins Workshops
YOUNG CHANGEMAKERS
Our Young Changemakers Program delivers a foundational creative workshop program addressing essential well-being and life skills, increasing the children’s multiple literacies, confidence and creative capacity, and including performance outcomes.
The program consists of weekly 90 minute to two-hour workshops onsite at participating schools across the four terms of the year. Two workshop artists – both professional arts workers with one focused on inclusion – deliver the workshops and evaluate the progress of the students through reported observations, interviews and surveys. The workshops align with the Drama curriculum, levels 4-6, with supporting content for Literacy Learning Progressions.
PARTICIPANT INTENDED OUTCOMES
- Increased resilience
- Increased willingness to try new things
- Increased confidence, self-worth and leadership qualities
- Improved engagement in school
- Increased sense of community connection and belonging
- Development of creative skills
- Development across multiple literacies
- Increased aspirations, reflected in positive developments in hopes and plans for the future.
Transitioning to secondary school is one of the critical junctions of a student’s schooling. Social challenges and overwhelm affect self-esteem, identity and relationships to peer groups. This program is specifically designed to build creative skills which apply to drama yet also equip this age group to navigate school life.
