Releasing Potential 2021

Releasing Potential was a project designed to address the lack of confidence and reduced motivation that so often results from disability and economic and social isolation.

Learners tried a range of activities over the 12-week period, including puppet-making, storytelling, poetry and painting, encouraging communication, creativity, teamwork, confidence and positivity.

The course culminated in a final event of the group’s choice – a live streamed presentation of their Feel Good Guide – a free tool in the form of an online booklet to enable others to take part in their project and spread positivity through creativity.
