HAPPY NEW YEAR

We had a successful year in 2013 working with over 3,000 people through interactive arts intervention in direct workshops, events in the Staffordshire area. We have a new fully committed board of trustees who are pushing on into 2014 with great gusto to bring interactive social arts to people from all walks of life who will benefit from the intervention.

As you can see we have a comprehensive project package taking us into the New Year alongside our Event Kids Karnival which will be on 27th July 2014 at Etruria Park this year with an emphasis on themes surrounding happiness, healthiness and staying safe, Kids karnival will feature alongside other events planned in the city over the next 12 months.  

At the start outreach project

The DJ school Association are looking to work with schools, youth groups, community group’s mental health facilities and higher education facilities.

The At the Start project bridges and fosters themes of positive thing, health lives and safety and community cohesion and intervention based social arts to develop and nurture new skills and to encourage a positive outlook on lives moving forward. Partners will be at the forefront for targeted planning for their cohort. Anyone interested in becoming a partner on this exciting new project please contact Sarah at info@djschool.org.uk.
