Creative Paths arts programme is designed by Play Resource to develop the creative potential of children and young people by increasing their access to the arts. This programme aims to support children from their early years, and their parents, through to young adulthood by using creative approaches to enhance learning and development. Building communication skills and exploring emotion and understanding are central to our work.

Take a look at the exciting Creative Paths arts projects groups have already enjoyed by visiting our Arts Gallery!

The Value of Arts & Creativity

Creative activities are essential for every child’s learning and development. The fun and enjoyment experienced through engagement with the arts encourages a positive attitude to learning, helps build confidence, raise self esteem and develop a sense of pride.

Creative Paths offers children and young people, teachers, youth/play workers and artists the opportunity to collaborate together to achieve a successful project.

Creative Paths is a journey of discovery ….embark upon it and see where the journey takes you!
