Dive into a world of vibrant colours and endless possibilities with Creative Confidence, an exhilarating summer programme designed to ignite the spark of creativity in young people aged 7-15.
Hosted at The George Alcock Centre in Peterborough, our workshops run on Monday and Friday afternoons throughout August, each one a step towards building a stronger, more confident self. Our workshops are more than just craft sessions; they're a playground for the imagination.
Participants will embark on thrilling adventures in design, from swirling patterns of tie-dye to the intricate details of jewellery making. Whether they're transforming old trainers into wearable art or giving new life to vintage clothes, each project is a chance to dazzle and shine. These workshops allow young minds the space to relax, explore and grow in a supportive environment. By the end of the programme, each participant will have not only a collection of their own creations but also improved resilience and a renewed sense of personal achievement.
Join us to explore, create, and build lasting skills for the future. Unleash your potential in an environment where imagination meets transformation!
