Articulate creates authentically co-designed projects that are built upon the principles of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, including:

​

• Article 12:  Every child has the right to express their views, feelings and wishes in all matters affecting them, and to have their views considered and taken seriously.

• Article 29:  Education must develop every child’s personality, talents and abilities to the full.

• Article 31:  Every child has the right to relax, play and take part in a wide range of cultural and artistic activities.

​

These article numbers have inspired this programme and we continue to reference the Convention as we explore local, national and global issues and themes with young people.

​

Our Artivism model has been delivered in partnership with the Children and Young People's Centre for Justice and Staf. You can read a blog about the project and watch what the young people created here.

​

The regular 'Artivism' programme includes:

​

Gable End - an employability and creative placemaking project to connect care experienced young people to their communities and create large-scale public art works that raise awareness, challenge stigma and present them as positive contributors to society. 

​

Culture 360 - a creative writing and arts project that results in a fresh and contemporary e-zine by young people from all over Scotland.

​

Track - a bespoke music-making project dedicated to original song-writing, production and release of vibrant new sounds ... all with something to say.

Artivism (12:29:31) is a model that was initially designed with Champions Boards in East Renfrewshire and Falkirk and is now available across Scotland.
