“Creative Exchange” is a new program serving ORR-eligible Adults and Youth (Afghanistan, Ukraine, Haiti, Congo, etc) who are currently living in the Pikes Peak region.
Explore a variety of creative activities while developing new skills, new connections to resources, and new friends. Teach some of the traditions of your country while sharing some favorite foods. Do creative projects with excellent teachers providing culturally appropriate sessions in Poetry, Visual Art, Music, Calligraphy, Dance, Ceramics, Textile Arts, and more. What do you like to make? What do you want to know how to do?
Creativity unlocks inner resources for dealing with stress, solving problems, and enjoying life. When we are creative, we are resourceful, and we problem-solve in new and original ways.
This program is a collaboration of DiversifiEd Consulting and Imagination Celebration.
