‘Life Journey Book’ Program by Bluebird Horizons
 
Each participant will create their own ‘Life Journey Book” - a combination of a personal journal and art sketch book. This Life Journey Book allows young people the opportunity to record and validate their presence and participation in the world, via art. The program establishes a place to explore in a safe way; meaningfulness, self reflection and self knowledge.

The Life Journey Book program utilizes a variety of art techniques and processes that culminate in the creation of individual personalized books. Each participant will learn; paper making, alternative photography techniques, paper marbling and much more. The program incorporates a group excursion where photographic skills are used to record the experience. The photographs taken throughout the program are used to create personalized pages for the Life Journey Books.

Cath Lappin Expressive Arts Facilitator uses the art processes as a metaphor for exploration into discussion topics that allow reflection on: life experiences, life choices and other themes that support personal growth.

The Life Journey Book program provides opportunity for young people to take time to reflect on their own life’s journey to consolidate learning’s and look towards their future. The product of this program is a very special and creative keepsake that can be kept as a reminder of the individuals experience and participation.

Evo Chicks

Evo Chick is a program designed to engage 12-17yr old girls. The program aims to develop self-worth, ideas of strength and respect for others and oneself through fun activities, adventures and self exploration. These activities would include, developing a healthy body image, maintaining healthy relationships, and discussing topics relevant to young women. We will also make a take home scrap book which explores personal growth throughout the term.

Drum Making

This is a 4 week program which involves a process where young people make their own miniature West African Ashiko drum.

“Have fun as you learn that the more you put in to it the more you get out of it. With  emphasis on teamwork, attention to detail, participants develop manual cognitive skills and an interest in other cultures as you build self-esteem and a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.”

Rock n Water

Rock and Water is not like traditional classroom learning...it is experiential and young people experience it as fun and playful...but at the same time learn valuable insight into themselves and others.  Rock & Water fosters success, especially for children and young people who previously have not experienced success in the classroom. Research shows that when young people learn while having fun (or any strong positive emotion) then their brains process the learning at a deeper level.

Young people pick up on and love the use of symbolic language in Rock & Water. They are readily able to understand the difference between acting from either a "rock" or a "water" attitude. The most important part of this symbolism is that it fosters self-acceptance in young people, which in itself, is fundamental to psychological well-being. Young people's behaviours can be described in terms of "rock" or "water" qualities, both of which have positive and negative attributes. This contrasts traditional behaviour management techniques that refer to young people's in terms such as "good" or "bad", "acceptable" or "not acceptable". By using this language, young people exhibiting challenging behaviours are more willing to reflect on their behaviours. Rock & Water is highly effective for children and young people with backgrounds of trauma as the language used reduces the shame that is evoked by the language used in many traditional behaviour management techniques.
