Hello partners.
Please do add responses to the findings of each mobility - this can be in the form of photos, quotes, comments and anything you found you learnt or that was useful to consider.
Coming soon is a slideshow of our excellent Swedish mobility. I hope it will illustrate the co-creative workshop learning and experiences of Swedish culture we all had. I was particularly struck by the flexibility of learning in Sweden, the way the programming at Medlefors acknowledged & closley reflected the needs of the learners, enabling them to learn activley at their own pace. This kind of supportive environment nutures confidence and empowers people, giving them control to direct their own progress, when they feel they are ready to take on more - they can.
Soon we have another mobility in mid July to Burdur in lovley Turkey. Members of The Seven Stars Learning Disabled Theatre Co will be part of the Headway Arts team. All are excited about the next mobility where we will be trying out our co-creative ideas as an international group. Ahmet is arranging a programme of cultural visits in Turkey - Fran & I are looking forward to immersing our selves in the Turkish way of life. I am planning a co-creative workshop for everyone to participate in, which will draw on the tradition of Turkish shadow puppetry, be informed by the sights, sounds and contributions from our international colleagues. Our disabled actors from Seven Stars are looking forward to a chance to share their talents with everyone.
elveda biz türkiye buluşmamıza kadar
best of wishes to you all
