Express yourself throught art

Participating schools invite 9 of their students requiring additional support to join a program for one school term. The program is run by a teacher at the school, and is most often the art teacher in conjunction with the school support person.
Students are required to produce a piece of art that expresses how they get through difficult times. This can be a drawing, painting, photo or sculpture.
At the end of the term the students work becomes part of the LifeScope Art Exhibition where their work is displayed and listed alongside other artists.
This program helps the student to identify a challenge in their life and identify the tools that they may use to help them get through it.

Hands on Projects

LifeScope Hands on Projects developed originally from our long-term unemployed program. Participants in the program not only had one-on-one support in an office environment with a mentor, they also had the opportunity to be involved in one of our hands on projects that operated as a real business within the community. This support helped participants engage in a work environment to develop their communication skills, self-esteem, time management, business ethics and hands on task skills.
