Unique Voice CPD: Using the arts to build social emotional skills  (am)

Unique Voice is a not-for-profit organisation working across Bristol and the South West using creativity to educate and empower young people.At Unique Voice we aim to improve children and young people's confidence and self-esteem, encouraging them to make positive decisions while ensuring that they feel safe and supported. We believe that understanding emotions, developing social skills and having a strong awareness of potential challenges are invaluable lessons to learn and help to build strong, respectful communities. Through drama and other creative mediums, we help children and young people to explore many complicated topics such as healthy and unhealthy relationships, the role of young carers, the different types of bullying, domestic violence and internet safety. Our goals include respecting others, building emotional resilience and encouraging aspirations.We understand that the world changes rapidly, and because of this we ensure that every single one of our projects is strongly influenced by the children we work with. We do not claim to know all the issues that young people face or exactly how to deal with them, instead we are in constant communication with young people, asking, listening, learning and working to find solutions which really fit for them.
