Creative Tools for Confident Minds

The CAT for schools and groups can be tailored to support collaborative art projects that foster connection, creativity, and emotional regulation within safe and supported environments. Designed with access to shared resources and equipment in mind, this version of the toolkit enables larger-scale and more experimental art-making practices. Activities may include group mural painting to build teamwork and belonging, and studio-based projects that allow for expressive mark-making. By engaging in these collective practices, young people can experience both freedom and structure, while strengthening confidence, resilience, and wellbeing. 

Disclaimer: The toolkit is a prototype developed through practice-led research that has not yet been tested with teenage users.
