Training Programme
This programme focuses on enabling and empowering participants to be able to implement healing art classes in disadvantaged communities. The curriculum aims to create safe spaces that are a catalyst for holistic healthy development and that encourage exploration and creativity. Over the years our training modules have been refined based on our learning with children and collaboration with others in the development sector.
After completing our Early Beginnings module, participants qualify to become part of the Community Art Facilitators Network. Otherwise one can also enter the programme through Art in Youth Development. The following is a summary of the training modules we have available for our CAFs.
