Our Creative Intent
Creativity is an essential aspect of human expression and plays a crucial role in fostering well-being and a sense of purpose.
The ambition of the Kent Adult Education Creative curriculum is to engage the community through an energetic and diverse programme offer planned to meet the varied needs and interests of Kent’s communities, thereby ensuring high quality learning is delivered across the county in dedicated adult education centres, online and in neighbourhood settings.
Creative courses aim to build confidence through learning, allowing students to express themselves, think critically, and collaborate with their peers. By empowering our students to become confident, imaginative, and adaptable learners, we aim to develop students' curiosity, resilience, and adaptability, preparing them for future challenges, opportunities, and personal development. The course will guide you through using storytelling to practice self healing and mindfulness. By focusing on mindful expression and emotional clarity you will gain the tools to turn your stories into a pathway for healing and self discovery.
Course aims
By the end of the course you should be able to:
* Mindfully reflect on past experiences that shaped present selves
* Explore techniques focusing on a sensory approach to storytelling
* Develop and enhance your ability to narrate with authenticity
You will also be asked to think of Personal Aims to individualise your learning experience, as well as another benefits the course may have.
