SUMMARY:Creative Wellbeing & Participation
DESCRIPTION:Creative Wellbeing & Participation\nCreative\, inclusive and community-based sessions for young people\nKosmovision is offering a small-group creative wellbeing program at Canterbury Neighbourhood Centre for young people who benefit from supported participation\, social connection and accessible creative experiences. \nThe program supports communication\, confidence\, emotional regulation\, belonging and everyday participation through creative\, sensory-aware and community-based activities. Sessions are guided by each participant’s interests\, comfort\, support needs and preferred ways of engaging. \nParticipants may take part in different ways\, including observing\, listening\, choosing\, creating\, resting and rejoining at their own pace. Activities can be adapted to diverse communication styles\, including AAC\, non-verbal communication and mobility supports. Participants attend with their own 1:1 support workers. \nFamilies have also expressed interest in strengthening everyday capacities such as life skills\, literacy and numeracy. These can be gently supported through creative practice\, shared routines\, group participation and practical activities\, rather than through formal classroom teaching. \nWhat the program supports\n\nCommunication and self-expression\nConfidence and agency\nAttention and emotional regulation\nBelonging and social connection\nCreativity and imagination\nEveryday capacities through participation\n\nWhat a session may include\n\nArrival and settling-in time\nGentle creative and sensory-based activities\nStorytelling\, music\, art-making and collaborative processes\nShared breaks and rest time\nEveryday routines\, transitions and supported decision-making\nCommunity-based participation and group interaction\n\nProgram Details\nLocation: Canterbury Neighbourhood Centre \nSchedule: Wednesdays\, 9:00am – 2:00pm \nFormat: 5-hour community-based session \nSupport: Participants attend with their own 1:1 support workers \nNDIS: Suitable for self-managed or plan-managed participants; may be invoiced under the participant’s relevant NDIS funding category for social and community participation\, depending on goals and plan arrangements. \nEnquiries and expressions of interest: contact@kosmovision.org.au
