Articulate education - launches SEPTEMBER 2014!

Want to open young minds to creative thinking? How about creative 'doing'? Even better, what about creative 'being'!?  Asking learners to be creative is one thing, but teaching them to think, act and be creative is quite another.  The ARTiculate project draws together literature, drama and the arts to show children that the creative processes behind writing, being artistic and performing are very similar. Once learned they can show a learner how to dance the steps of creativity, unlocking their potential and removing barriers of fear and lack of confidence.   Take a look around this blog to see how ARTiculate can help your child, class or school do just that!
