About This Webinar

In this webinar, we will focus on the practical application of art-based mediums to foster empathy, perspective-taking, and effective communication among young individuals, particularly those in middle childhood (6-12 years old). The emphasis will be on the principles and strategies for using art as a tool to explore and process challenging social and emotional issues related to significant life changes. We will also cover practical steps for assisting young people in expressing themselves through art and engage in discussions on best practices for adapting art-based mediums to meet the diverse needs of children ages 6-12 across different contexts.

Learning Objectives:

In this webinar we will
1. Gain new insight into the use of intermodal expressive arts to facilitate self-expression and communication among children.
2. Learn the use of intermodal expressive arts facilitation to strengthen interpersonal connections with children.
3. Learn the use of one art-based medium to integrate intermodal expressive arts facilitation into their current work with children.
4. Learn to create a safe and supportive environment using intermodal expressive arts facilitation for emotional exploration with children.
