"Having the opportunity to work with AFLCT has been truly beneficial; they've provided unique experiences that have positively impacted our students. Their professional artists are strong role-models who encouraged students to take risks, find their voices, and be confident young people. They assisted in the process of inspiring our students to discover their individual identities and be able to self-assuredly express and share their ideas and opinions."
Description
An art and life skills workshop that deals directly with life’s constant changes through creative writing and visual arts. The life cycle of a butterfly is the inspiration behind the curriculum. Learning to adapt to change creatively and courageously is the mission.
In an ever-changing environment, it is important to learn how to navigate. The purpose of this workshop is to guide students through the process of creative expression, helping them to identify what works best for them—it is meant to give them creative life skills to walk away with.
