Arts-Based Approaches for Empowerment

Creativity as a Tool for Inclusion

Arts-based activities allow young people to:

  • express emotions
  • explore identity
  • develop confidence
  • communicate ideas
  • build relationships

Examples

  • Theatre — expression through voice, storytelling and role-play.
  • Dance — body awareness, movement and emotional expression.
  • Ceramics and tactile arts — creativity through touch and materials.
