Articulate projects focus on creative habits of mind, where we use the arts as a stepping stone to creativity, a high-value commodity in the workplace of the future.  Our work is:

 

• asset-based, person-centred and relational 

• Social Pedagogy, SEL and creative learning pedagogies combined

• teaching artists that are of the highest calibre and their practice is trauma-informed 

• rooted in robust evidence and research including around the arts and neuroscience

• impact-driven with emphasis on quality, authentic co-design and creativity with partners and participants.
   

In practice this means:

 

• arts education, creative learning and cultural practices, including digital, are prioritised

• 16 industry-wide art-forms are employed to benefit marginalised Scots

• the creative outputs, productions, exhibitions and events, are of industry-standard

• creative voice is nurtured for social, educational and economic improvement (Artivism)

• Arts Award accreditation through Trinity College, London is available to all participants.

 

The strategy for our journey over the next five years has five pillars for our focus:
 

• the arts and creativity as a connector between culture and care

• awareness and advocacy, including children’s rights to the arts and culture

• child growth and development, including physical and mental well-being being nurtured

• skills and workforce development, scaffolding for young people, teachers, social workers and artists.

• places and spaces, including digital, where the ability to flourish and thrive is cultivated.
